Helping Your Child Become a Successful Reader
The Oklahoma Reading Sufficiency Act—or RSA—helps ensure that by the end of third grade, each student has the opportunity
to develop strong foundational reading skills needed to be successful in fourth grade and beyond.
Parents are a child’s first teacher, and building literacy starts in the home even before children enter public school. Beginning
in kindergarten, your child will be assessed to determine his or her reading skills. We want you to be familiar with RSA and the
supports available to you and your child during the early grades, when reading development is critical to future academic success.
We hope the information in this guide is helpful to you. If you have questions about your child’s reading ability, contact your
child’s teacher or school.
