Reading Success Plans

The Reading Success Plan (RSP) is a plan to support students who exhibit a substantial reading deficiency. Per Missouri statute Section 167.645, RSMO (SB 681), Missouri districts must assess students for reading proficiency and develop an RSP until proficiency is met.
The classroom teacher, principal, and reading specialist will work together to create a personalized plan for your child and will have it ready to share at parent-teacher conferences in November.
Students with an RSP will receive individual and/or small group instruction for specific skill gaps. Notification about summer summer school and other tutoring opportunities will also be provided.

All students took the i-Ready Diagnostic and/or NWEA MAP Growth assessment in September. They were also given a fluency task in a one-on-one setting with their teacher and completed a spelling inventory.
A combination of i-Ready/NWEA scores, reading level, and spelling scores were used to determine if an RSP was needed.

Steps

This will be an ongoing plan for the entire school year. We will monitor progress every 3-6 weeks to check your child’s growth.
Students may exit the plan if they meet learning goals and demonstrate mastery of skills through assessments.

Not necessarily. Some kids may qualify but an RSP does not guarantee reading intervention with a reading specialist.
The student’s reading success plan can also be fulfilled by the classroom teacher through differentiated instruction.

Not necessarily. Qualifying for an RSP does not automatically mean your child is flagged for dyslexia. Part of the i-Ready screener is flagging characteristics that can be similar to dyslexia, however, it can not diagnose dyslexia. Only a licensed clinician can diagnose dyslexia.

No, an RSP is not the same as an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Students who need extra help with reading do not necessarily have a reading disability.
