The standard a student must attain depends on how many years they have been in the US. What does that mean for a third grader who came to us in kindergarten?
The number of years in U.S. schools for a third grader who has been in the U.S. since kindergarten is three. A student with three years in U.S. schools would need to attain a level of Advanced or higher on the TELPAS reading, or meet the standard on the TAKS reading assessment.
