READ Collections

Districts must annually report the information necessary to determine the prevalence of Significant Reading Deficiencies (SRDs) among students in grades K-3. This data determines the per-pupil funding for districts by dividing the amount of money available by the total number of K-3 students identified as having an SRD in the preceding budget year. Districts must also report whether or not students in grades 4-12 remain on a READ plan.

Districts must annually report the READ Act administered interim and diagnostic assessments along with the core, supplemental, and intervention instructional literacy programs for grades K-3 for each school operated by the LEP (including charter schools). 

Districts must annually ensure and report that all K-3 teachers who provide literacy instruction to students in grades K-3 and all teachers who provide reading intervention in grades 4-12 have successfully completed evidence-based training in teaching reading. Districts must also report K-3 principals/administrators and/or personnel who the LEP determines meet the statute criteria as needing to complete the K-3 Principal/Administrator training.
