But wait….. There are no cut scores for 6th grade STAAR as of now.
Suggested….. Use local measures • Preliminary STAAR results • 5th grade TAKS data from 2011 • Identify students that are not reading at grade level
Remember….. • Results from the diagnostic should then be used to inform reading instructionand intervention.
Instruction and Intervention • Building Blocks for Teaching Adolescents with Reading Difficulties • A+ Rise • TALA-Reading
