The following are side-by-side comparison documents for the 2017 revised English and Spanish language arts and reading Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) to be implemented in the 2019–2020 school year in kindergarten through grade 8. There is horizontal alignment between the English language arts and Spanish language arts TEKS, but due to the different conventions of the languages, there are small but noteworthy differences between the two sets of standards that influence the teaching and learning of each language. While the English and Spanish language arts TEKS contain substantively similar and equally rigorous expectations for students who are learning English or Spanish, these side-by-side documents point out the minor differences in student expectations (SEs).
