Author Description

For Diagnosis and Remediation courses and courses in Reading Assessment. Adopted by many large US school districts this comprehensive inventory is set up to provide step-by-step procedures for administering each facet of reading assessment. Accompanied by two unique CD-ROM's, its logically organized, convenient format addresses data collection for all components of reading assessment, and renders a multidimensional profile of a student's strengths and weaknesses. Three forms of narrative passage are included, Preprimer through Level 9; plus, Science and Social Studies expository passages, Levels 1-9. Practice opportunities are provided including a case study, readers at the four reading levels, coding practice, fluency analysis, retelling analysis, and more. The Case Study Documentation and CD-1 provide the practice you need to competently administer the ARI by listening and learning as a student reads narrative passages from the independent to the frustration levels. Practicing Component-by-Component examples found on CD-2 and study sheets are used to build examiner competency.
