Overview

RULE:

6A-6.053

District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan

PURPOSE:

The proposed changes for the District Comprehensive Evidenced-Based Reading plan are based on provisions included in Senate Bill 7004. Revised requirements include: the criteria for identification and requirements for students in Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) who demonstrate a substantial deficiency in early literacy; the added timeline requirement for the development of an Individualized Progress Monitoring Plan (IPMP) within 45 days after the results of the coordinated screening and progress monitoring system become available for students who have a substantial reading deficiency; and the requirement for districts to prioritize funds for VPK students who have a substantial deficiency in early literacy skills. The effect of the rule will be that VPK students who have a substantial deficiency in early literacy skills will receive interventions to increase early literacy skills and that students who have a substantial reading deficiency will have an IPMP in place within a set timeframe.

SUMMARY:

The Department is revising requirements of the District Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan based on provisions included in Senate Bill 7004. Revised requirements include: identification and requirements for VPK students who demonstrate a substantial deficiency in early literacy skills; the timeline to develop the IPMP for students who have a substantial reading deficiency; and the addition of prioritizing VPK students who have a substantial deficiency in early literacy skills when districts allocate remedial and supplemental instruction resources.
