What Missouri Needs Right Now:

Mandatory K–3 foundational reading assessment at the beginning and end of each school year (Section 167.645, RSMo)

Reading Success Plans (RSPs) — required for students with a Substantial Reading Deficiency (SRD), students identified as at risk for dyslexia, or students with a diagnosed dyslexia-related condition. Plans must be informed by diagnostic assessment data and developed in accordance with Missouri law (Sections 167.268 & 167.645, RSMo).

EBRIP reimbursement — Districts may apply for reimbursement through the Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Program (EBRIP) Fund using DESE-approved instructional materials and assessments (Section 161.241, RSMo).
