IREAD-3

IREAD-3

As part of our participation in the Indiana Choice Scholarships school program, IREAD-3 is a required annual test the students take in third grade to measure reading proficiency.


A passing score on IREAD-3 shows that a student is ready to move from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."  If a student does not pass, BTCS will provide extra reading instruction and re-test the student.
