  1. A retained third-grade student is placed back in third grade. How long does Indiana law allow a school to retain a student in third grade for IREAD-3 purposes?

    Answer: Retention is limited to one additional year in third grade before promotion is required

    Indiana policy generally limits IREAD-3-based retention to one additional year in third grade; students cannot be held back repeatedly solely for failing IREAD-3.

  2. Which of the following best describes the purpose of the summer IREAD-3 administration?

    Answer: To give students who failed the spring test an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency after summer interventions

    The summer administration is designed for students who failed the spring IREAD-3 and have participated in summer reading programs or interventions to demonstrate improved proficiency.

  3. What is a 'portfolio exemption' in the context of IREAD-3 good cause exemptions?

    Answer: A collection of student work showing reading proficiency that may exempt a student from retention

    A portfolio exemption allows a student to demonstrate third-grade reading proficiency through a collection of classroom work and assessments in lieu of passing the IREAD-3 test score alone.

  4. Why is the spring IREAD-3 administration window scheduled relatively early in the school year (late February/March) rather than in May or June?

    Answer: To allow time for summer interventions and retesting before the next school year begins

    The early spring window ensures that failing scores are identified in time to arrange summer remediation programs and a summer retest before the following school year starts.

  5. Under Indiana's IREAD-3 policy, which of the following is NOT listed as a valid good cause exemption category?

    Answer: Students who scored in the top 10% on a different state reading test

    Scoring highly on a different reading test does not constitute a recognized good cause exemption category under Indiana's IREAD-3 statute.

  6. How does the IREAD-3 assessment align with Indiana's broader academic standards?

    Answer: It measures reading skills aligned with Indiana Academic Standards for English/Language Arts at the end of grade 3

    IREAD-3 is aligned with Indiana Academic Standards for English/Language Arts and measures the foundational reading skills expected at the end of third grade.

  7. A principal is reviewing a student's file who did not pass the fall IREAD-3 retest. What is the most likely next step under Indiana law?

    Answer: The principal determines whether the student qualifies for a good cause exemption or must be retained in third grade

    After failing the fall retest, the principal must determine if the student meets a good cause exemption; if not, the student is retained in third grade for the following year.
