Summary

The Analytical Reading Inventory is a comprehensive K-12 informal reading inventory which includes narrative and expository passages. It can be used in a variety of reading methods classes. The text contains everything future teachers, inservice teachers, reading specialists, and psychometrists need to administer a thorough, one-on-one analysis of the reading strategies used by elementary, middle, and high school students —- all students, gifted through remedial. Extensive field-testing and years of classroom use have made teachers confident that the results obtained through the inventory are both valid and reliable. The inventory renders accurate information about each student's levels of instruction, strategies to recognize words and comprehend text, and oral and silent reading performance.

Features


NEW—Includes, with every copy of the inventory, an audio tape with a case study and other reading passages for practice in administering inventory. “New Instructions: Step-by-Step” make learning how to use ARI easy.
