SUMMARY

The Burns/Roe Informal Reading Inventory is designed for use in: in-servicing classroom teachers in reading methods and informal assessment procedures; training and everyday use by special education teachers; and teaching of college students in reading methods courses.

The first two sections of the Inventory contain background information about different aspects of testing word recognition and comprehension and specific step-by-step directions on how to administer, score and interpret the inventory. Worksheets facilitate calculation and recording of results. The rest of the book consists of word lists and graded passages from preprimer through twelfth grade with accompanying questions that can be used with children with a range of reading ability. Results can be used to determine appropriate levels of reading materials and in the identification of strengths and weaknesses.
