Chapter 101.6001 - Texas Middle School Diagnostic Reading Assessment Requirement: TEC, §28.006(c-1) states that all schools must administer a reading diagnostic assessment to any student whose performance on the 6th grade STAAR reading test did not demonstrate reading proficiency.
The Commissioner provides a list of instruments on the TEA website that may be used as a diagnostic tool for this purpose.
One such reading diagnostic assessment is the Texas Middle School Fluency Assessment. This workshop will assist teachers or instructional specialists in administration procedures and interpretation of assessment data.
Districts are encouraged to consider training teachers and Dyslexia Therapists or Reading Interventionists in order to create a solid team for administering and interpreting the TMSFA.
