Since then little has been done to assure that resources and lesson ideas are aligned from grade level to grade level. • Each year, teachers express the need to meet vertically to identify what TEKS are covered in each grade and determine the complexity at which the TEKS are taught. • Teachers have additionally expressed a concern about the resources used to teach Reading and the overlap of their use.
