THE READING SUFFICIENCY ACT 

The Oklahoma Reading Sufficiency Act, or RSA, helps ensure that by the end of third grade, each student has the opportunity to develop strong foundational reading skills needed to be successful in fourth grade and beyond.

Parents are a child’s first teacher, and building literacy starts in the home even before children enter public school. Beginning in kindergarten, your child will be assessed to determine his or her reading skills. We want you to be familiar with RSA and the supports available to you and your child during the early grades, when reading development is critical to future academic success. More information is available in the Oklahoma State Department’s information sheet, Helping Your Child Become a Successful Reader, The Reading Sufficiency Act: A Guide for Families
