READ Act

Colorado's Commitment to Early Literacy 


The Colorado Reading To Ensure Academic Development Act (Colorado READ Act) was passed by the Colorado Legislature during the 2012 legislative session. 


The ability to read is perhaps the most important skill we can teach in school.


The READ Act creates a system to identify students experiencing challenges with reading, to engage parents in the development of reading improvement plans, and to provide quality support for those most at risk.
