The Colorado Basic Literacy Act, known as House Bill 96-1139 mandates that all students will be reading on the 3rd grade level by the end of 3rd grade. This Act requires that the reading growth of all students be monitored carefully from kindergarten through 3rd grade. Those students not reading at grade level are placed on an Individual Literacy Plan (ILP), which is developed together with the school and the family and is monitored throughout the student's schooling until the student is reading at grade level. District teachers and volunteers assist students in improving literacy performance.
