Act 20 requires that any child in grades K-3 who scores below the 25th percentile on the reading readiness screener must receive a personal reading plan. Note that an amendment to Act 20 signed in March 2024, delays just the first administration of the screener in school year 2024-2025 to allow for adequate training time for 4K programs and schools. The first required administration of the screener for 5K through grade 3 will be mid-year. The first required administration of the screener for 4K will be in the spring.
If students are identified as at-risk on a universal screening assessment or diagnostic assessment,, a personal reading plan must be created that includes:
- The specific early literacy skill deficiencies,
- goals and benchmarks for the pupils progress toward grade-level literacy skills,
- how progress will be monitored, a description of interventions and additional instructional services being provided,
- the science-based reading programming the teacher will use,
- strategies for the parent to support grade-level literacy skills, and any additional services available and appropriate.
Local education agencies (public schools and independent charter schools) will provide a copy of the personal reading plan to parents as well as provide progress updates after 10 weeks. The School District of Poynette will create personal reading plans for all qualifying students. The data for these plans will completed in Infinite Campus and will include the required information. These plans will be shared with families.
