Annually, school districts submit a K-12 Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading plan for the specific use of the research-based reading instruction allocation on the form entitled District K-12 Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan, Form No. CERP-1 (effective January 2021). This amendment revises the District K-12 Comprehensive Evidence-Based Reading Plan Rule to include new language established in HB 7011, including districts conducting a root-cause analysis of student performance data to identify intensive reading interventions and the Department developing a reflection tool to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions implemented in the prior year. The amendment would also revise the evidence-based reading instruction allocation to promote comprehensive reading instruction to certain students who have completed the Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program and who are at risk of being identified as having a substantial deficiency in early literacy skills.
