STAAR Reading Information...
All the information came frome the TEA Website..https://tea.texas.gov/student-assessment/testing/staar/staar-resources
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) is the testing program for students in Texas public schools. The assessments are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), the state-mandated curriculum. The curriculum contains the content and skills students need to learn in order to be successful in the current grade and to make academic progress from year to year. Each STAAR assessment measures what students are learning in a specific grade.
Every child who takes a STAAR test gets a report showing his or her test results. This report is called the Confidential Student Report, or CSR for short. Carefully reviewing your child’s test results can help you identify where your child is doing well and where he or she may need to improve.
The STAAR assessments have three categories for performance—Level III: Advanced Academic Performance, Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance, and Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance. Your child’s performance level is indicated for each assessment he or she took. If your child’s report shows a “YES” under Level III: Advanced, he or she performed at a level that is well above passing. Performance in this category indicates that students are well prepared for the next grade and are highly likely to be successful in that grade. If your child received a “NO” under Level III: Advanced, but a “YES” under Level II: Satisfactory, he or she performed at a level that is at or above passing. Performance in this category indicates that students are sufficiently prepared for the next grade and are likely to be successful in that grade. However, students in this category may need some additional instruction focused on the content and skills that were difficult for them. If your child’s report shows a “NO” under Level II: Satisfactory, he or she performed at a level that is below passing. Performance in this category indicates that students are not adequately prepared for the next grade and are not likely to succeed in that grade without significant and ongoing instructional support.
Third Gtade is the first year your child will take Math and Reading STAAR. It is important that your student comes to school everyday that they can.If you have questions please let me know. Have a great day! All the following information I got from the TEA Website!
