Previous Webinars
On July 1, 2024, SB362 went into effect that defined multiple changes to Oklahoma's Early Literacy Law. The Strong Readers Act (formerly known as the Reading Sufficiency Act, or RSA) outlines literacy requirements for students beginning in kindergarten. These webinars will provide an overview of the requirements of the Strong Readers Act, highlighting changes from RSA. This information was also presented at InspireOK and the OK Administrator's Conference. The webinar will be recorded and posted here for those who are unable to attend.
