Each year, OSDE completes a report on the Reading Sufficiency Act (RSA) for the Oklahoma Legislature. Data from this report is used to determine what, if any, additional policies and/or resources are needed to ensure all students receive the reading instruction they need to be successful.
In order to provide valuable and accurate information for this report, we need the help of Oklahoma teachers and administrators. If you work with students in any grade(s) between kindergarten and fifth grade for reading instruction, please take a few moments to complete the survey below.
Access the survey here.
The survey is completely anonymous and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open until close-of-business Nov. 18. Thank you for participating.
If you have questions, contact Mary Mazariegos at mary.mazariegos@sde.ok.gov.
