Reading Instruction and Accelerated Mathematics Instruction |
 Academic success
is at the heart of the Student Success Initiative (SSI). which was enacted by the 76th
Texas Legislature in 1999. To advance to the next grade level, a student in Texas public schools must pass the TAKS reading test at grade 3, the reading and mathematics tests at grade 5, and the reading and mathematics tests at grade 8 or by unanimous decision of the placement committee. The Accelerated Reading Instruction/Accelerated Mathematics Instruction (ARI/AMI) program is a major component of the Student Success Initiative. To ensure that all students receive the instruction and support they need to be academically successful in reading and mathematics, the state provides funding to ensure that immediate, targeted, research-based instruction is provided to students identified as struggling in reading or mathematics. |
