Basic Reading Inventory Instructions
Administer an Informal Reading Inventory to a struggling reader of your choice. ( See Jerry L. Johns, Basic Reading Inventory).
Do not choose a student reading proficiently or a student below 3rd grade or you will not gain any practice coding miscues, etc.
Read the Jerry L. Johns, Basic Reading Inventory textbook. It tells you which form to use for which grades and gives you detailed instructions on how to administer and score the assessment.
Follow the directions about what level to use when beginning the word list. You are trying to determine the student’s instructional level. In order to do this, you must continue to administer the word list until the student begins to get frustrated.
You will score each word list and keep track of the results on the summary form. You will be turning these in.*
The summary form is like the one on p. 150 in the textbook (not student book). This is for Form A. Use a Form B summary form if you use that form, etc.
Based on your findings from the word list, you will continue to the reading portion. This includes the miscues and the reading comprehension. You are trying to determine the instructional level, so you will continue with this process until the student begins to get frustrated.
You will be scoring the miscues and comprehension pages. You will write the results on the summary sheet. You will be turning these in.
The final section is the reflection.
*Most students scan in the individual pages. However, it is also possible to take pictures and send them as Jpeg files. If you do this, make sure the entire page is clear, label/title each individual image, and place them in the order they were administered.
