Re: [MOSAIC] Informal Reading Inventories
We use the QRI5 because it's inexpensive and has a good variety of passages for each level. Some of our district schools favor DRA2 or Fount as Pin ell for more gradients within levels. I do find it necessary to use the CORE Reading Assessments for specific skkill diagnosis, but that's not usually nèeded for group placement. It just depends upon the reason for testing for choosing a test. Nicole Power wrote: >I have the CRI 2 and the QRI 4.

Re: [MOSAIC] Informal Reading Inventories
I have the CRI 2 and the QRI 4. I like the passages and the questions in the CRI much better than the QRI; however, I found the scoring instructions vague, unclear, and generally difficult to follow. I would like to see the scoring all in one section with clear guidelines. The CD that came with it was an example of administration. I wish they would have put the PDF versions of the teacher copy on the CD so I wouldn't have to copy them from the spiral. If they could revise the CRI to make the scoring easier to follow with a PDF on CD, I would choose this every time.

Re: [MOSAIC] Informal Reading Inventories
Cara, Look at the Critical Reading Inventory (CRI). Dr. Harris had us administer it to student for reading diagnosis. I found that I liked the CRI better then other reading inventories.

Re: [MOSAIC] Informal Reading Inventories
I completely agree --- just make sure you are consistent and document everything the student says and does during the IRI.
