IREAD-3 Indiana Reading Evaluation And Determination (IREAD-3)

What is IREAD-3? Administered in Grade 3 Spring Summer retest Based on K-3 Foundational skills in reading IREAD-3 measures whether a student can read; ISTEP+ measures how well a student reads Passing IREAD-3 fulfills the requirements of Public Law 109 – designed to ensure that students can read before accessing fourth grade curriculum.

WHEN is IREAD-3? Given after ISTEP+ Part 1 The testing dates for 2017 are: March 13 through March 17

IREAD-3 standards Based on Indiana Standards, IREAD-3 Assessment is a summative assessment that measures foundational reading standards through grade 3.

What happens if my child doesn’t pass? Any student who does not pass in the spring has an opportunity to retest in the summer after attending summer remediation. If a student does not pass the summer retest, then he or she will be retained and unable to move on to 4th grade (unless he/she has a “Good Cause Exemption”). According to the Indiana Department of Education: “Students who do not pass IREAD-3 in the spring have an opportunity to retest in the summer. Students who do not pass the spring or summer administrations of IREAD-3 will continue to receive instruction in Grade 3 Reading, will be officially reported as a third grader, and will fully participate in the IREAD-3 assessment.” A parent does not have the option of “opting out” of retention.
