For Publishers

How to Participate 

Instructional materials can be considered for TRR in the following ways:

• Publishers submit a Quality Review Application when the application window is open.
• Materials are on the state adopted list or under consideration for adoption in response to a proclamation issued by the State Board of Education (SBOE).
• More than 10% of Texas school districts make a request.

Participating in a quality review does not mean a product will be included on the SBOE’s adoption list. For more information about state adoption, visit the TEA publisher portal

TEA can only review products in subject areas and grade bands where a finalized quality rubric has been developed. 

English & Spanish Phonics Cycle

Information

The commissioner of education is in the process of adopting administrative rules to outline the criteria for phonics programs and is establishing a process to review phonics programs in accordance with House Bill 3, 86th Texas Legislature, 2019, to ensure all students obtain necessary early literacy skills and that districts have access to phonics materials that include systematic direct instruction and integrated reading instruments.

Phonics programs submitted will go through the TRR process to determine eligibility for inclusion on the commissioner’s recommended list.
