Only the highest level achieved by the child should be recorded. ## A. TaRL Telugu Testing Process The TaRL baseline assessment is integrated into the FA-2 examinations. The Assessment Booklet/Tool-2 includes the relevant testing components. The writing component, where applicable, is administered to the child, but its marks are not entered in the OMR sheet. ### TaRL Telugu Levels 0 Beginner1 Letter2 Word3 Paragraph4 Story5 Comprehension 1. **Start from Paragraph Level:** Begin at Level 3 and ask the child to read the paragraph. 2. **Paragraph Level:** Fluent reading moves to Story Level; more than 3 errors, word- by-word reading or lack of fluency moves down to Word Level. 3. **Word Level:** Ask the child to read any 5 of 10 words. At least 4 out of 5 correct = Word Level. 4. **Letter Level:** Ask the child to read any 5 of 10 letters. At least 4 out of 5 correct = Letter Level; otherwise Beginner Level. 5. **Story Level:** Fluent story reading progresses to Comprehension Level; otherwise record Paragraph Level. 6. **Comprehension Level:** Both prescribed questions must be answered correctly for Level 5. **Key Rule:** Story reading alone is not sufficient for Level 5. ## B. TaRL Mathematics Testing Process Mathematics testing includes Number Operations and Word Problems. Number recognition is used for teacher awareness and is recorded in the School Learning Progress Sheet. ### TaRL Mathematics Levels 0 No Operations1 Addition2 Subtraction3 Multiplication4 Division5 Word Problem * Test in this order: **Addition → Subtraction → Multiplication → Division**. * At each operation, the child must solve **2 out of 2** correctly to proceed. * Both prescribed division problems must be correct to proceed to Word Problems. * Both prescribed Word Problems must be correct to record Level 5. **Key Rule:** One correct word problem is not sufficient for Level 5. ## C. TaRL English Testing Process The English assessment follows the same level structure and progression logic as Telugu reading. 0 Beginner1 Letter2 Word3 Paragraph4 Story5 Comprehension * Begin at Paragraph Level (Level 3). * At Word Level, at least 4 out of 5 words must be read correctly. * At Letter Level, at least 4 out of 5 letters must be read correctly. * Both prescribed comprehension questions must be answered correctly for Level 5. ## D.
