 * Step 1:** Administer the TMSFA to all 6th graders scoring 2150 or below on the 2009 TAKS reading within the first two weeks of the school year.


 * Step 2:** Sort students based on their results on the TMSFA:
 * 2a:** Level 3 students (Fluency, Comprehension, & Decoding) will be enrolled into the Language! class using the Fall course code: RDG16060F, Language! 6F, READ 6, 03273410 (This is the course code for Chancery. If your schedule uses a different course number for the Language! class it needs to be changed to this one.)
 * 2b:** Level 2 students (Fluency & Comprehension) will be enrolled into the Language! class IF there is space and materials available. Otherwise they will be provided small group support through targeted intervention in their regular reading class.
 * 2c:** Level 1 students (Comprehension) will be provided small group support through targeted intervention in their regular reading class.


 * Step 3:** In the Language! class, administer the Language! placement test to those students to determine their entry into book A or book C. Use the following: Below 430L needs A/B book, 430L to 800L needs C/D book.
 * You will not be able to perform this step until after the C/D materials arrive on your campus.
 * **You do not need to order the C/D materials. They will shipped to your campus directly from us within the next couple of weeks.**


 * Step 4:** See the header for "Ordering Books" below.
 * You should not submit this form until AFTER you have administered the placement test.


 * Step 5:** Administer appropriate baseline assessment and begin instruction.

A memo with these instructions will be going out in the next week to all campus principals, but many of you have been asking for clarification on the process. This email and the attachment should be helpful to all of you as you are completing the TMSFA testing and beginning to enroll your students into the class.

We will send out additional information within the next couple of days regarding the trailer class for the Language! training which will take place September 17 – 19, 2009. Please keep in mind that this trailer course is required only for the teachers or Literacy Coaches who 1) will be teaching the Language! class on your campus and 2) who were not able to attend the training in July or August 2009.
