Visit us at [http://www.tea.texas.gov](http://www.tea.texas.gov)  \nEvery student who participates in TELPAS receives test results in areport called the Confidential Student Report . TELPAS uses four proficiency ratings—Beginning, Intermediate, Advanced, and Advanced High—to show the progress students make in learning English from year to year . For students to reach their full academic potential, it is important for them to make steady progress in learning English. Your child’s proficiency ratings in listening, speaking, reading, and writing will give you a good idea about the progress he or she is making . Students who do not make steady progress may require additional assistance at school. If your child did not receive a proficiency rating in all four areas and you do not understand why, please contact his or her school .  \nThe TELPAS reading test is designed especially for students who do not speak English as their first language . The test is made up of reading selections and test questions that span a full range of English reading ability. While the beginning level reading selectionsand questions include very common English words and many pictures, the advanced and advanced high reading selections and questions require a near-native understanding of English . Once students reach a proficiency rating of advanced high on the test, they have little difficulty understanding what they read in class and on state assessments of academic skills .  \nThe results in listening, speaking, and writing indicate how well students understand and use English during academic instruction . As part of the assessment, one or more teachers evaluated several of your child’s writing assignments, which are on file at your child’s school . For each language area assessed, teachers used specific language proficiency guidelines to determine whether your child is at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of learning English .  \nWhat do TELPAS results tell me about my child?  \nThis brochure has three purposes:  \n• to give you some basic information about TELPAS;  \n• to explain a sample test report so that you can understand your child’s actual test report . The actual test report, which has your child’s name on it and shows his or her test results, has been sent to your child’s school and should accompany this brochure;  \n• to provide you with a short summary of each proficiency rating so that you will better understand the progress your child is making in learning English .  \nWhy am I receiving this brochure?  \nTELPAS is an assessment program for students in Texas public schools who are learning the English language . The letters in TELPAS stand for the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System .  \nThe Texas Education Agency developed TELPAS to meet state and federal testing requirements. Texas assesses English language learners annually in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students learning the English language begin participating in TELPAS in kindergarten and stop participating when their language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC) determines that they are proficient in the English language . For students in grades 2–12, TELPAS has multiple-choice reading tests and holistically rated assessments in listening, speaking, and writing . TELPAS assesses the progress that students are making in learning English .  \nThe multiple-choice reading test is a one-day test that measures students’ annual progress in learning to read in English. The assessments of listening, speaking, and writing are based on classroom observations and a collection of the student’s writing .  \nWhat is TELPAS and who takes it?  \nA Guide for Parents Grades 2–12  \nUnderstanding the C","cbCaib3peTJuyZ1M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib3peTJuyZ1M","pdf",872742,"English","# What TELPAS is and who takes it\n# What TELPAS results tell parents\n## Proficiency ratings and progress\n## How reading, listening, speaking, and writing are assessed\n# Why parents receive this brochure\n## Purposes of the brochure","[{\"question\":\"What is TELPAS and what do the letters stand for?\",\"answer\":\"TELPAS is the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System.
