The IREAD-3 is generally administered in March, allowing time for intervention and retesting if necessary before the end of the academic year.
Students who miss the initial test have opportunities to take a makeup test or participate in the summer retest to demonstrate their reading proficiency.
The IREAD-3 test is administered in a standardized classroom environment to ensure fairness and consistency for all students.
Classroom teachers and school administrators are responsible for administering the test according to state guidelines. State officials do not directly oversee the testing on-site.
The summer retest is specifically designed to give students who did not pass the initial IREAD-3 test another opportunity to demonstrate their reading proficiency before advancing to the fourth grade.
