SECTION 1: Information and Rationale Background and Purpose The Right to Read Act, amended by the Arkansas Legislature in 2019, requires “curriculum programs that are supported by the science of reading and based on instruction that is explicit, systematic, cumulative, and diagnostic, including without limitation: (1) dyslexia programs that are evidence based and aligned to structured literacy or grounded in the Orton-Gillingham methodology, (2) evidence-based reading intervention programs, and (3) evidence-based reading programs that are grounded in the science of reading.” Pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. § 6-17-429(f), the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education shall identify and create a list of approved materials, resources, and curriculum programs for public school districts and open-enrollment public charter schools. Request for Approval List Submissions Phase 2 The Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education requests submission of core and supplemental materials, resources, and curriculum programs for K-2 Literacy (Tiers 1 and 2 instruction) from programs that have been selected to advance to Phase 2. A separate review of other grade levels and dyslexia programs will be requested in an additional process. Eligibility Process Overview There are two phases in the review process:
• Phase 1 was a preliminary review of K-2 Literacy Programs submitted by curriculum program providers through an application process. Separate applications were required for each program type. Providers had to meet all eligibility in Phase 1 in order to advance to Phase 2.
• Phase 2 consists of a full review of K-2 Literacy Programs. Each vendor must establish that the K-2 Literacy Program submitted meets the required eligibility criteria.
Phase 2 of the submission process will require vendors to explicitly mark and label the location of required components within submission materials. IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Completion of requirements for Phase 1 Eligibility DOES NOT guarantee final approval.
• Vendors meeting Phase 1 Eligibility must still complete and submit the Phase 2 Program Review to be approved before inclusion on the Division’s 2020-2021 [school/fiscal] year Approved List.

DISQUALIFIER: If the theoretical basis of any submitted program utilizes the Three Cueing Systems Model of Reading or Visual Memory as the primary basis for teaching word recognition, it shall be disqualified because cognitive science refutes use in foundational reading. Required Elements from Phase 1
• Grounded in the Science of Reading & Evidence-Based: Provide a clear and concise summary of evidence and research with appropriate citations (white papers, case studies, etc.) that the program is producing effective results and improving outcomes when implemented. The instructional strategies should be based on peer reviewed, evidence-based research that applies rigorous, systematic, and objective procedures to obtain valid knowledge relevant to reading development, reading instruction, and reading difficulties.
• Explicit: Provide a clear explanation of the core program components. Explicit instruction involves direct explanation in which concepts are explained and skills are modeled, without vagueness or ambiguity. Instruction is concise, specific, and related to the objective with scaffolding and guided practice.
• Systematic and Cumulative: Provide a detailed scope and sequence, which includes spiraling review. Systematic instruction includes a carefully planned sequence of instruction that is thought out and designed before activities and lessons are planned, maximizing the likelihood that whenever students are asked to learn something new, they already possess the appropriate prior knowledge and understandings to see its value and to learn it effectively.
• Diagnostic: Provide a list of program assessments, including how and when they are used.
• Alignment to Arkansas Academic Standards: Provide an alignment or correlation to Arkansas Academic Standards.

Phase 2: III. Science of Reading Any additional Research1 and Evidence-Based2 Research in support of the science of reading that demonstrates how the program submitted for review was designed based according to research findings and is producing effective results and improving outcomes when implemented. Please label the types of evidence that are provided (e.g., peer review, case study, white papers). Phase 2: IV. Agreement of Completion

Phase 2: Required Materials Core/comprehensive and supplemental program providers must submit all curriculum materials for each grade and component being reviewed (e.g., teacher’s manuals, assessments, teacher resources, student materials). For example, if the program provider is submitting for core/comprehensive program for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd, all curriculum materials for each grade must be submitted for review. If the program provider is only submitting a supplemental program for one component in Kindergarten, then all supplemental curriculum materials in support of the one component for Kindergarten must be submitted. Core/Comprehensive Program Submissions Program providers submitting a core/comprehensive program for review must provide documentation that the program addresses all five essential reading components. Programs submitted as Core/Comprehensive Curriculum Programs must meet expectations in three of the five essential reading components. Supplemental Program Submissions Program providers submitting a supplemental program for review must provide documentation for each essential reading component that is being submitted for program review.
1 Research based: provides research evidence that the program is of sound practice, generates new knowledge and validates existing knowledge 2 Evidence-based: review of supporting evidence to demonstrate how the practice works

Phase 2: Scoring Each Component will be scored independently. The Component Score will consist of two independent scores, one for Instructional Design and one for Evidence-Based. Curriculum programs must meet or partially meet expectations in both Instructional Design and Evidence-Based in order to be placed on the Arkansas K-2 Literacy Curriculum Approved List. Evidence-Based Score and Required Materials The Evidence-Based Score will be derived from:
• Validity Statement(s): The program provider’s summary of findings of multiple research studies. These research studies must be based in the Science of Reading.
• Research Narrative(s): The program provider’s description of how research was utilized to determine content, instructional strategies, and assessments and the degree of correlation between program content, instructional strategies, and program assessments and the research findings.
Efficacy Statement(s) Program Providers must also include a summary of findings on how the curriculum program has produced effective results and improved outcomes. Instructional Design Score and Required Materials The Instructional Design Score will be derived from evaluation of Content, Instructional Strategies, and Program Specific Assessments. Program providers must submit the required materials for each area.

Final Instructional Design Score Evidence-Based Score Evidence-Based in Supporting the Science of Reading will be assessed using the Validity Statement, Research Narrative, and Efficacy Statement. Evidence-Based Score: Validity Statement and Research Narrative Efficacy Rating Program providers will be scored based on the level of evidence in the summary of findings on how the curriculum program has produced effective results and improved outcomes. While the Efficacy Rating is not calculated in scoring, Efficacy Ratings for each program will be posted on the list of Arkansas K-2 Approved Programs. While this score will not be calculated in the cumulative Evidence-Based Score, program providers are required to submit a revised Efficacy Statement and documentation by January 31, 2022 to the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education for review. Resubmitted Efficacy Statements and documentation must score Moderate Evidence or Strong Evidence by March of 2022 to remain on the list of Arkansas K-2 Approved Programs.
