Abstract

How are schools using literacy screening data to identify students for reading support under Alaska’s early literacy policy? The Alaska Reads Act requires districts to screen students in grades K–3 and assign Individual Reading Improvement Plans (IRIPs) to students who score well below benchmark. The Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest partnered with the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District to examine how schools use screening data and other information to assign students to IRIPs and determine when students exit those supports within a multi-tiered system of supports for reading.
