KPM: Kindergarten Dyslexia Screening Information

Per Texas Education Code 38.003, all LEAs must administer a Dyslexia Screener to Kindergarten students at EOY. LEAs may use the Texas Kindergarten Entry Assessment (KPM) Dyslexia Screener to meet this requirement.

Many LEAs use the Dyslexia Screener to administer at EOY to Kindergarten students to report risk of dyslexia codes to PEIMS. The Texas Kindergarten Entry Assessment (KPM) dyslexia screener found in Wave 3 (EOY) is comprised of KPM measures that directly align with the required measures outlined by TEA’s Dyslexia Handbook located here: Dyslexia and Related Disorders
