An IRI is an independent reading inventory, which can be purchased OR teacher made (following IRI guidelines). IRA refers to the International Reading Association most often. If you are not a member, I would suggest joining since the publications of this very large professional organization are extremely helpful in the field of reading. Even though I am no longer working as a reading specialist, I still subscribe to Reading Teacher and, of course, their newspaper-like Reading Today. You may even be interested in their upper-level Reading Research Quarterly. There is probably a local affiliate of IRA in your area. The state organization usually sponsors the annual reading conference in your state. Let me also add that, even though I live in North Carolina (which holds an excellent conference annually) the annual conference of the West Virginia Reading Association is a very high quality conference. Both organizations have an online presence. All email correspondence to and from this address is subject to North Carolina Public Records Law which may result in monitoring and disclosure to third parties, including law enforcement.

I would like to know what the differences are between an IRA and IRI (I'm thinking informal reading assessments and inventories.... but I am wondering if these instruments are published or teacher made?) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com <http://www.aol.com/> . _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
