Students who are promoted to 4th grade through a good-cause exemption or the Student Reading Proficiency Team (SRPT) must continue to receive intervention until they demonstrate grade-level reading ability with an approved screening assessment, or transition to a locally-developed plan after 5th grade. The intervention needs to be documented. For those students receiving this intervention through special education services, the intervention is documented on the IEP. Otherwise, the form below can be used for this documentation. If a district-created form is used, it is the responsibility of the district to ensure all statuatory requirements for documentation are met.
