mCLASS Texas Edition provides a full K–6 early literacy assessment solution and is built on decades of research at the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon, a research center that uses evidence and research-based practices to advance teaching and student learning. The measures are already used in hundreds of districts in Texas. The mCLASS comprehensive system includes:
- efficient one-minute measures in foundational reading skills
- a built-in dyslexia screener
- teacher-led instruction
- robust reports for teachers and administrators
mCLASS Lectura K–6 is grounded in the latest research on how Spanish literacy develops with culturally responsive content and parity with English assessments.
When Lectura is used with mCLASS TX, teachers have access to the Dual Language report, which provides a side-by-side view of their students’ skills in English and Spanish. mCLASS Lectura is the only assessment to offer a dual language instructional report with built-in professional development for each foundational reading skill, including guidance and resources to promote cross-linguistic transfer.
mCLASS Lectura offers many enhancements to the user experience, including Spanish measures and targeted instruction, reporting, and more. Lectura is also validated for benchmarking, progress monitoring, and dyslexia screening.

- Important to note: If a student(s) doesn’t appear on your class roster, they are most likely missing from the roster data provided by your district during the enrollment process. Please contact your district administrator to request that the student(s) be added.
Early Childhood Data System (ECDS) submissions
The ECDS is a state reporting feature in the Texas Student Data System (TSDS). All public schools and open-enrollment charter schools (LEAs) in Texas must report assessment data collected using assessments that are aligned with the Texas Education Data Standards (TEDS) and on the commissioner’s list of approved assessments, such as Amplify’s mCLASS® Texas edition. Amplify will provide the mCLASS® Texas BOY assessment data (under the academic subject “Composite” for Language and Literacy) directly to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
Submissions are due by January 29, 2026, to meet their data submission requirements in a timely manner.
