Early Literacy Screening

Implementation Guidance: Early Screening for Reading Difficulties, including Screening for Characteristics of Dyslexia 

All information and data below for specific screeners is provided by the vendor through the Request for Information (RFI) application or follow-up conversations. This information is also available from vendors for current customers. Specific questions about a screener should be directed to the vendor. These documents are supplied here in order to provide quick access to information required to meet RSA requirements.

RSA Funding

Science of Reading Professional Development

Beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, districts that receive more than $2500 in RSA funds must spend at least 10% of those funds on professional development in the science of reading. Further guidance and programs approved for this use can be found below. 

 

Sample Documents

Individualized Program of Reading Instruction (IPRI)

Forms have been updated to reflect the 2022-23 school year.

This document has been revised to include requirements for dyslexia screening. This document is a tool made available to districts. It is not required that districts use this document. If a district-created form is used, it is the responsibility of the district to ensure all statuatory requirements for the IPRI are met. 

The addendum document is only needed if the screening for characteristics of dyslexia is not able to be completed prior to having a conference with parents. If all information about dyslexia screening is able to be included on the IPRI, the addendum is not needed.

Students who are promoted to 4th grade through a good-cause exemption or the Student Reading Proficiency Team (SRPT) must continue to receive intervention until they demonstrate grade-level reading ability with an approved screening assessment, or transition to a locally-developed plan after 5th grade. The intervention needs to be documented. For those students receiving this intervention through special education services, the intervention is documented on the IEP. Otherwise, the form below can be used for this documentation. If a district-created form is used, it is the responsibility of the district to ensure all statuatory requirements for documentation are met. 

Family Communication

Portfolio

The portfolio requirements reflect the standards being used for the Oklahoma State Testing Program (OSTP). The OSTP will use the 2016 Oklahoma Academic Standards for the 2022-2023 school year. The portfolio requirements will shift to the 2021 Oklahoma Academic Standards for ELA for the 2023-24 school year, when those same standards will be used for the OSTP.
