I use the Bader Reading and Language Inventory. It provides graded reading passages. The assessment checks for reading comp: explicit, retell, and inferrence. Of course you can do a running record as well as a fluency check. It will give you an instructional reading level.
Hope this helps. Carol Carol A.

My school uses a quick, multiple choice test which I have found to be very inaccurate. Our literacy leader told us that we could use other assessments to get a better idea of what level the child is on. I've used informal running records, and of course, I know what skills my students need by working with them in guided reading groups, but I want something more formal and reliable. I was looking at the QRI (Qualitative Reading Assessment) online. I like how there are quick passages for students to read (fiction and nonfiction) and the cost is reasonable on Amazon, too. Does anyone use this assessment? What are the pros/cons? Any other suggestions? I'm looking for something that does not cost too much since I will be purchasing this with my own money. Thank you!
