Early identification of reading skills and comprehension development of young students is critical to planning and implementing a successful reading program. This is especially true for teachers that use Spanish as the language of literacy instruction. “El Inventario de Lectura en Español de Tejas” (Tejas LEE) is a Reading First assessment instrument that measures student reading skills and comprehension development in Spanish for students in Kindergarten through Grade 2. Developed as an individually administered Spanish reading assessment, the Tejas LEE specifically assesses the skills important to the development of Spanish reading. Proper administration will depict a summary of reading performance in order to plan and deliver targeted instruction. The Tejas LEE provides valuable data educators can use to help students develop into proficient, lifelong readers.
