This informal reading assessment has some similarities to the QRI-5 but also many differences. The main difference is that students will not be reading the passages where as in the QRI-5 the students are reading aloud to the teacher or in some cases silently to themselves. Despite that the teacher is reading the text this assessment was developed to test the five dimensions of informational text comprehension. While the QRI-5 has this element we can also learn more information than just the students comprehension. How ever the procedure for administering the assessment is very similar in that there is a script, questions, prompts and a scoring sheet/guide. The main drawback of this informal reading assessment is that it only tests one dimension of the students reading, comprehension. Also there has not been research done in the way of interpretations and comparisons of scores. This is also limited in grade level and reading choice.Doesn't it seem more like a listening comprehension test?
I like the way you went deeper into the topic. I didn't even think about these aspects such as the way it seemed like a listening comprehension. I could see that but at the same time I do like this idea of fill ins.
ReplyDeleteThis instrument provides more of qualitative aspects of student's comprehension. You could actually read it to the students or have students read out loud.
