TX-KEA: What is the TX-KEA Statewide Kindergarten Readiness Score?
Answer
The Statewide Kindergarten Readiness Score is comprised of the Texas Kindergarten Entry Assessment Vocabulary, Letter Names, and Spelling measures. Students must meet the “On track” (green) benchmark for all three measures to meet the kindergarten readiness criteria determined by TEA. Districts can use the additional measure data to make individual determinations regarding students who may require additional support.
