“El Inventario de Lectura en Español de Tejas” (Tejas LEE) is a valid and reliable assessment tool that measures student’s reading and comprehension skills in Spanish. Designed for use with students in Kindergarten through Grade 3 who receive primary instruction in Spanish, the Tejas LEE allows teachers to identify early reading difficulties or risk for reading difficulties in Spanish at an early age (grades K-3). The Tejas LEE is an individually administered assessment and proper administration provides a summary of reading performance that assists teachers in planning and delivering targeted instruction.

Each Tejas LEE assessment addresses Spanish reading, comprehension and reading related skills that are of importance for the grade level being assessed. The Tejas LEE is not a translation of an English instrument. The Tejas LEE was developed to address areas important to the development of Spanish reading. All of the test items and stories within the Tejas LEE were developed in Spanish to address the development of Spanish reading and comprehension. With the Tejas LEE, teachers can focus on helping students learn the reading concepts they need, so that all children can meet the goal of reading at grade level.

The Tejas LEE also includes an Intervention Activities Guide for each grade level to provide further assistance to teachers in developing instruction plans and targeting instruction to specific skill development. The Activities Guide is aligned with the skill areas of the Tejas LEE, and activities of varying levels of difficulty are provided for each type of skill or group of skills.
