QUALITATIVE READING INVENTORY - 4

The QRI-4 has long led the field in offering students and teachers alike a reliable and easy-to-use informal assessment instrument. This Fourth Edition continues to emphasize authentic assessment of children’s reading abilities, from the most emergent readers to advanced readers. One of the keys to the success of the QRI-4 is that it contains narrative and expository passages at each pre-primer through high school level. All are self-contained selections highly representative of the structure and topic of materials found in basal readers and content-area textbooks. At the same time, it provides graded word lists and numerous passages designed to assess the oral reading, silent reading, or listening comprehension of a student as well as questions to assess prior knowledge. Instructors can measure comprehension by retelling passages, implicit and explicit questions, and other devices.
