This most successful informal reading inventory has been adapted to meet the strong demand for K-12 teachers to assess Spanish-speaking students in their native tongue. Since it can assess a student's reading competency in Spanish as well as English, this inventory is particularly valuable considering the influx of English as a Second Language (ESL) students and Spanish-speaking students in the public schools. Taking a constructivist approach, the authors combine both traditional and holistic methods to determine a student's reading level. This pragmatic, well-designed inventory can be used in undergraduate/graduate courses dealing with reading remediation, in public schools with Latino populations, and in ESL teacher training programs.




Revises existing passages in both Spanish and English.
Adds new passages that are culturally appropriate for students who speak Spanish.
Reorganizes the assessment protocol following each passage.
Improves the visual appeal by updating the illustrations which accompany the passages.

Provides miscue grids throughout the inventory for summarizing students' reading errors.
Features high interest passages,, to paint a more accurate picture of a student's reading ability.
