 Qualitative Reading Inventory-3 November 29, 2000

The Qualitative Reading Inventory-3 by Lauren Leslie and Joanne Caldwell is a special education reading teacher's godsend in light of recent changes in idea. This tool gives a very specific oral reading instruction level. In addition, however, this tool also gives teachers a comprehension reading instruction level, an approximate instructional level for fluency, and silent reading instructional levels. If present level of performance in reading is hanging you up when writing those present levels of performance each quarter. I highly recommend this book.
QRI II: Use in Diagnosing and Improving Reading Abilities May 13, 2000

This collection of reading samples, and a detailed guide in using them in creating running records, grade-level assessments, as well as assisting the reading teacher in gaining a basic understanding of each student's comprehension strengths and weaknesses, is an essential addition to a serious reading teacher's library. Explanation and instruction in assessing your student's prediction, think-aloud, self-correction and basic comprehension abilities is thorough, easy to understand, and laid out in a manner that lends itself to frequent usage, both planned and spontaneous. The authors have chosen literature (both narrative and expository text as well as simple poetry) that is appealing to children, thus the stereotypical "stiff and cold" testing format of the past can be avoided as the teacher and student share a literary experience while a student's abilities are examined, and a plan of action for improvement is formulated. The cost of this book is minimal when one considers the amount of usage possible, and the innumerable reading problems that can be diagnosed and treated, by professionals who buy and use this valuable diagnostic and teaching tool.

I use the QRI word lists as a quick reading assessment for my students. The narratives provide a way to do an in-depth review of students' reading skills. The tests included enabled me to test for reading rate, miscues, and comprehension in a organized and easily understood manner.

The QRI-4 text is an easy read even though it is full of information. The layout of the tests, scoring sheets, and explanations are easy to understand and easy to make copies for testing purposes. I have used the QRI-4 many times and found it very quick and easy to use. I would recommend the QRI-4 for any educator looking to find reading levels for students.

My wife needed an IRI for a recent course. She reported that this book provides different types of readings as opposed to just the story narrative form. The directions for using the IRI were clear and the typeset on the word lists is sharp. She says she is very pleased with this investment and expect to use it in her classroom in the future.
