How do the Tejas LEE and the TPRI Differ?
The Tejas LEE is not a translation of the TPRI, nor is it simply a Spanish version of the TPRI. The most important difference between the two instruments is that they do not assess exactly the same set of reading skills. The Tejas LEE captures significant skills and steps in the development of Spanish reading. In addition, each the Tejas LEE and the TPRI were developed and piloted on different populations of students. Therefore, it is not possible to compare results from the TPRI with results from the Tejas LEE. The Tejas LEE should be used only to examine student performance in Spanish and to plan Spanish reading instruction.
