READ Data Collections in Data Pipeline
Overview
The Colorado READ Act requires districts to report specific student, school, and district level data to CDE to determine and report on the important milestones in implementing key provisions of S.B. 19-199. The information provided in these reports is intended to assist the department, the state board of education, the governor, and the public in monitoring the implementation of and identifying the results achieved in implementing the Colorado READ Act.
Literacy Programs & Assessment Reporting
Districts must annually report the READ Act administered interim and diagnostic assessments along with the core, supplemental, and intervention instructional literacy programs for grades K-3 for each school operated by the LEP (including charter schools). This collection window is open annually from April through June.

Spring READ Assessment Reporting
Districts must annually report the information necessary to determine the prevalence of SRDs among students in grades K-3.

District must also report whether or not students in grades 4-12 remain on a READ plan.
