Colorado Basic Literacy Act (CBLA)

Statute requires that literacy infomation be collected at the end of the school year by the Colorado Department of Education. Student literacy is evaluated using a body of evidence which includes an individual reading assessment. DSP is currently using the DRA2 (elementary English), the EDL2 (elementary Spanish) and the SRI (for upper grades).
