Document Links
This document is a tool made available to districts to meet all requirements of the Strong Readers Act. If a district-created form is used, it is the responsibility of the district to ensure all statuatory requirements for the SLIP are met.
- Student Literacy Intervention Plan (SLIP)
- Student Literacy Intervention Plan (SLIP) for 4th Grade and Above
- *Student Literacy Intervention Plan (SLIP) 30-day update
*If a district chooses to use a locally developed form instead of the OSDE sample Student Literacy Intervention Plan (SLIP) Update Form, the district-developed form must include all required components. This includes documentation of the student's progress toward grade-level reading proficiency and strategies or activities families can use at home to support their child's reading development.
The addendum document is only needed if the screening for characteristics of dyslexia is not able to be completed prior to having a conference with parents. If all information about dyslexia screening is able to be included on the SLIP, the addendum is not needed.
