I used the Jerry John's IRI for 12 years. I don't know if it was the 'best', but I liked it because it was quick and easy. deb

I have used the Stieglitz, Burns & Roe, Silvarolli and a few from reading textbooks. We use the DRA for grades 1 and 2 at present but we switch to the IRI in grades 3 and 4, largely because of time constraints. I have seen some reviews of Burns and Roe in which people feel some of the passages are very dated. The Silvarolli (in my opinion) is the least accurate. I like the Stieglitz for a number of reasons. Any thoughts about any of these or other IRIs? And what about the QRI? How does it compare? Thanks for your advice! :) _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
