Request for Student Reading Instruments, Kindergarten and Grades 1-2

(Editor's note: In accordance with Texas Government Code, §2002.014, which permits the omission of material which is "cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient," the figures are not included in the print version of the Texas Register. The figure is available in the on-line version of the October 25, 2024, issue of the Texas Register.)

Filing Authority. Texas Education Code, §28.006

Description. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is notifying publishers that reading diagnostic instruments (English and Spanish) for students in Kindergarten (Texas Education Code (TEC), §28.006(c-2)) and Grades 1-2 (TEC, §28.006(c)) may be submitted for review to become commissioner-approved reading instruments for use in Kindergarten and/or Grades 1-2 starting in the 2025-2026 school year. The 2025-2029 commissioner-approved alternative Kindergarten reading instrument and the 2025-2029 Commissioner's List of Approved Grades 1-2 Reading Instruments will be available in the spring 2025 so that school districts and open-enrollment charter schools may order instruments for implementation starting in the 2025-2026 school year. Instruments selected for the commissioner's lists will remain on the lists for a minimum of four school years.

Publishers, including those on the current Commissioner's Lists of Reading Instruments, will be responsible for submitting instruments they wish to have considered to be selected as the 2025-2029 commissioner-approved alternative Kindergarten reading instrument and/or for inclusion on the 2025-2029 Commissioner's List of Approved Grades 1-2 Reading Instruments.

TEA will only accept reading instruments that are based on scientific research concerning reading skills development and reading comprehension and provide for diagnosing the reading development and comprehension of students. See the TEA Criteria for the Evaluation of English and Spanish K-2 Reading Instruments section of this notice for further information on the selection criteria.

Kindergarten and Grades 1-2. TEC, §28.006(b) and (b-1), authorizes the commissioner of education to develop a list of approved reading instruments for school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to use in the diagnosing of student reading development and comprehension. In accordance with TEC, §28.006(c) and (c-2), each school district and open-enrollment charter school is required to administer at the Kindergarten, first, and second grade levels a reading instrument adopted by the commissioner to every student. A reading instrument administered to Kindergarten students must be one of the two reading instruments identified by the commissioner (TX-KEA or the alternative instrument selected through this process). A reading instrument administered to students in Grades 1 and 2 may be selected from the list of reading instruments identified by the commissioner through this process or an alternate selected through a district-level committee.

TEA Criteria for the Evaluation of English and Spanish K-2 Reading Instruments

1. The instrument must be intended for use in Kindergarten and/or Grades 1-2, allow for progress monitoring, and must be in alignment with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Progress monitoring refers to relatively brief measures that are conducted on a routine basis to provide information on what children are learning and rates of improvement across the academic year. This knowledge should allow teachers to determine what children are learning and adapt their curricular activities and instructional approaches to be more responsive to children's needs. All submitted instruments should allow for assessment a minimum of three times throughout the school year (i.e., beginning, middle, and end of year).

2. Submitted instruments must be considered standardized assessments. This means the instrument measures skills using common sets of questions, tasks, and materials that are administered and scored in a consistent manner. The instrument must also be reliable and valid and meet all applicable psychometric requirements outlined in this notice.

3. Submitted instruments must consist of both English and Spanish versions. English and Spanish versions must assess the same domains and skills within each domain, unless differentiated based on specific differences outlined in the English and Spanish TEKS. Spanish version of the reading instrument must be linguistically authentic (e.g., not simply a translation of the English version). In addition, the psychometric requirements listed in this notice must be provided for both English and Spanish versions of the instrument. Instruments in English and Spanish should be submitted separately using a separate form for each language assessment.

4. To be considered for review, reading instruments must provide for diagnosing the reading development and comprehension of students and assess all required skills listed in Table 1. Required skill sets based on TEKS in the Call for Submissions Informational Packet.

Figure: Call for Submissions Informational Packet (.pdf)

5. The instrument must provide a separate score for each skill set measured as outlined in Table 1: Required Skills Sets based on TEKS.

6. The instrument must be individually administered and provide estimated administration and scoring times.

7. Administration and interpretation of the instrument by a classroom teacher must be allowable and feasible. Specifically, the qualifications for those who administer and interpret the instrument (as specified in publisher's guidelines) should be within the coursework and/or licenses typically completed by certified teachers in Texas public schools. Administration procedures requiring extensive timing, the establishment of a basal and ceiling, complex judgments, and/or subjective ratings that require the special training of a diagnostician are not considered feasible for teacher administration. Initial training to teachers regarding the administration of the instrument must be made available to staff and include additional or ongoing support options available to districts for the successful implementation of the instrument.

8. The instrument must allow for screening of dyslexia at Kindergarten and/or Grade 1 level. For Kindergarten, the instrument must allow for the screening for dyslexia at the end of academic year. In accordance with the Dyslexia Handbook adopted in rule by the State Board of Education (SBOE), both the English and Spanish versions of the instrument must assess: (1) letter sound knowledge or letter naming fluency; and (2) phonological awareness. For Grade 1, the instrument must allow for the screening of dyslexia by January 31 of the academic year. In accordance with the Dyslexia Handbook adopted in rule by the SBOE, both the English and Spanish versions must assess: (1) word reading accuracy or fluency; and (2) phonological awareness. The dyslexia screeners must only take a brief time to administer.

9. If the instrument is norm-referenced, it must have a representative norming sample in terms of the sample size and the groups represented. Norm-referenced instruments must be representative of the population of Texas students in the grade(s) (Kindergarten and Grades 1-2) or at the age(s) for which the instrument is intended.

10. Criterion-referenced decisions about criterion mastery, non-mastery, risk, and impairment have special requirements for reliability and validity (see the following guidelines 11 and 12).

11. At a minimum, an instrument must possess adequate reliability as demonstrated by independent research. For instruments built using classical test theory, reliability data/information should include, minimally, internal consistency (e.g., alpha coefficients) and alternate form and/or test-retest reliability data as appropriate for the instrument's purpose and intended use. For instruments developed using item response models, suitable psychometric data from the test development process should be submitted, including, but not limited to, the standard error of measurement, indices of item discrimination and difficulty, and total test information. Classifications resulting from criterion-referenced tests (e.g., mastery, non-mastery, risk, impairment, etc.) must be shown to be reliable. Instruments that depend on examiner ratings must demonstrate appropriate forms of inter-rater reliability.

12. Decisions based on test results must be supported by validity evidence established by independent research. Evidence of concurrent or predictive construct, content, and criterion validity (e.g., correlations with measures of similar and/or dissimilar constructs, results of confirmatory factor analyses, etc.), and discriminant and convergent validity are appropriate, depending on the purpose and intended uses of the measure. Classifications resulting from criterion-referenced tests (e.g., mastery, non-mastery, risk, impairment, etc.) must be shown to be valid and demonstrate both sensitivity and specificity. Evidence of predictive validity should be submitted for measures that claim to predict future status or the likelihood of subsequent success.

13. Normative and technical data for the instrument must be no more than 15 years old (2009 or later).

14. Instruments must allow for the generation of educator, administrator, and parent reports. Parent reports must be easy to understand and available in English and Spanish.

15. Instruments must be offered at no cost to local education agencies.

16. Instruments that have the following are preferred.

(a) Instructional resources for teachers that are aligned to/support the instrument (e.g., teacher grouping support, instructional activities targeting specific student or student group instructional needs, etc.).

(b) Instructional resources for families that are aligned to/support the instrument (e.g., family activities aligned to student needs, etc.).

(c) Instrument allows for additional monitoring of students between beginning of year, middle of year, and end of year assessment windows (i.e., response to intervention based on identified needs).
