I like the Stieglitz very much because the passages start at a very low level and there are many to use at each level.? It also contains a phonemic awareness assessment that I find to be very helpful diagnostically and for progress monitoring my Title I students.

I have used the Stieglitz, Burns & Roe, Silvarolli and a few from reading textbooks. We use the DRA for grades 1 and 2 at present but we switch to the IRI in grades 3 and 4, largely because of time constraints. I have seen some reviews of Burns and Roe in which people feel some of the passages are very dated. The Silvarolli (in my opinion) is the least accurate. I like the Stieglitz for a number of reasons. Any thoughts about any of these or other IRIs? And what about the QRI? How does it compare? Thanks for your advice! :) _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
