The administration window for the Kindergarten Reading Assessment Revised is not earlier than the first day of July of the school year and not later than the twentieth day of instruction of that school year.  The KReady system opened on July 1 and will remain open through Nov. 1, 2023, to accommodate differences in district schedules. Nov. 1 is the deadline for teachers to enter data in the KReady system. After the KReady system closes on Nov. 1 at 11:59 p.m., data managers will have until Nov. 9 at 11:59 p.m. to clean up transfer requests.   

Teacher Training
Only kindergarten teachers who have not yet been trained need to complete the initial training on the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Revised (KRA-R). Teachers must have an account in the KReady system and complete self-paced online modules and a content assessment in KReady prior to attending a virtual session. Follow the steps outlined in the KRA-R Online Professional Development User Guide to access the modules. Directions and dates of virtual sessions are found on the KRA for Teachers Webpage under Teacher Training. Teachers should only register for one session in STARS. For training questions, contact KRAHelp@education.ohio.gov.
