Overview

A thorough, standards-based, diagnostic informal reading inventory for measuring the progress of typical, remedial, and gifted readers with step-by-step instructions for administration.     The Analytical Reading Inventory (ARI) is an informal diagnostic tool designed to determine a student’s reading level and to establish an instructional plan for improvement. It is comprised of a series of literature and informational text passages of increasing difficulty, from pre-primer to level nine, and can be used with all readers from the very young to high school students. As a student reads a leveled passage, the examiner records quantitative and qualitative standards data on easy-to-use Examiner’s Passage Record Sheets.  The record sheets are comprehensive, making it possible to record and summarise data, identify an instructional focus, and report results. The 10th Edition of the ARI supports undergraduate and graduate education students, instructors, school psychologists, and classroom, Title I, and special education teachers, by offering: Two assessment scenarios: A Case Study, a means of collecting data for special placement; and  the ARI Quick Assessments, a means of collecting comprehensive data in a short  amount of time. NEW! Examiner’s Passage and Summary Record Sheets. Common Core Instructional Strategies for each of the five assessment and instructional elements.
