All K-5 students, and students grade 6+ who have not tested out of a RSP, take the DIBELS screener at the beginning of the school year. They are also screened to find their area of greatest need with DIBELS and various other tools.

A combination of the DIBELS scores, district screener Lexile scores, and various other skill-specific screeners are used to determine whether a Reading Success Plan is needed.

Building reading interventionists (classroom teachers, reading specialists, and/or special education teachers) will work to create a personalized plan for your child.

There are Reading Success Plan resources for parents on the district website, listed above.

This will be an ongoing plan with progress monitoring occurring every 2-4 weeks to check your child’s growth.

If a student reaches their learning goals, it is possible to exit a Reading Success Plan.

• A student will be eligible to exit from the Reading Success Plan after demonstrating grade-level proficiency on two consecutive DIBELS and district benchmark, as well as consistent grade-level performance on progress monitoring assessments and in the classroom setting.

Not necessarily. A Reading Success Plan does not guarantee reading intervention. The student’s Reading Success Plan may be fulfilled by the classroom teacher, reading interventionist, or special education teacher, depending on the needs of the individual student.

Qualifying for a Reading Success Plan does not automatically mean your child is at risk or has some risk of dyslexia.

The DIBELS screener and district benchmark helps to identify students who may be displaying characteristics of dyslexia. These assessments do not diagnose dyslexia.
