Lauren I am not sure what you mean by "standard assessment" but from reading your post I think you would like Ellin Keene's book on assessing comprehension strategies. The Barnes and Noble link is here: _http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Assessing-Comprehension-Thinking-Strategie s/Ellin-Keene/e/9781425804367/?itm=2_ (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Assessing-Comprehension-Thinking-Strategies/Ellin-Keene/e/9781425804367/?itm=2) I use it in conjunction with the QRI and classroom based assessments to plan for comprehension intervention...

Hi All, Does anyone have a standard assessment that they like to diagnose specific comprehension weaknesses?? I have used the DRA and IRI, but usually prefer to assess comprehension through authentic text and my own observation.? I am tutoring a student whose mother would like a more standardized diagnostic assessment to share with her son's teachers- something that quantifies whether he is lacking in inferences, predicting, making connections, etc.? I know that these are behaviors that I could observe in him over time, but she wants the info asap and I have met with him only once briefly.? Does such an assessment exist?? Thanks in advance!
