Informal Reading Inventory is designed to determine reading level and
specific strengths and weaknesses in word recognition and reading
comprehension. I use sets of graded word lists, graded
reading passages, and forms, enabling the re-testing of students.
I use forms that are organized into a teacher booklet and a student booklet
which contain a graded series of reading passages accompanied by
comprehension and vocabulary questions. This is a great classroom diagnostic tool.
 

Good choices for resources in the classroom
