Strong Readers Act

Helping Every Scholar Become a Strong Reader

The Oklahoma Strong Readers Act supports early literacy by helping schools identify scholars who may need additional reading support and provide targeted instruction and intervention.

ASTEC Charter Schools is committed to helping every scholar develop the foundational reading skills needed for success in school and beyond.

What Families Should Know

Under the Strong Readers Act, scholars in kindergarten through third grade receive regular reading screenings throughout the school year. These assessments help teachers identify scholars who are meeting grade-level expectations and those who may benefit from additional support.

When a scholar is identified as needing additional reading support, ASTEC works with families to provide appropriate intervention and monitor the scholar’s progress.
