Many years ago, before our district compiled its own set of running record assessments, our school used to use the Sucher-Allred Reading Assessment. They were short passages with 4-5 questions to ask after reading orally. Each question was a certain type -sequence question, main idea question, inference question... I can't really remember the details, I haven't used it in years. Here is a link:

The test correlates well with other standard tests and is useful as an informal reading inventory.
