What are some informal Reading Inventories that you use? Thanks

We also use DIBELS. If you don't have to use it - DON'T. It is
useful for K, 1 and low 2 students. After that it is pretty
useless. Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers must give it, but I
follow up with an Informal Reading Inventory for more accurate
data. I don't do one with every student, just the students the
teachers recommend.

Our school has also administered DIBELS through 6th grade and it
has worked
really well for identifying fluency problems. We are now trying to
move on
to identifying fluency and comprehension issues in older students--
which the
DIBELS doesn't cover--therein lies our district-wide issue.

our district adopted DIBLES about 7 years

possibilty of Palm Pilots then. And here we are 7 years later and
we're
still talking!!!!! However, the online datasystem although
sporadically
temperamental, is a very powerful tool.

recommendations
Our district is using the DIBELS assessment - fast, easy screening
tool.
We use it on Palm pilots so the only paper used is the student
copy. The
test is completely scored on the Palm. It makes it very easy to
administer
and you have instant results - high risk, some risk, low risk,
progress
graphs, etc. There are benchmark materials so progress goals are
set for
each individual; the students, teachers and parents can clearly
see if the
student is progressing appropriately or not. It is for k-6 and has
been a
great tool used by all the teachers for planning instruction,
targeting
needs, and conferences with parents. It is a screening tool, not a
diagnostic assessment.

I work in a fairly small district where we are looking into
purchasing a
K-12 reading assessment (not a reading program). We are wanting a
program
that focuses on word recognition, fluency and reading
comprehension (other
reading elements are fine too). Additionally, it needs to be
something we
can administer fairly quickly. We do have some money to spend on
this,
but
cannot spend tons. I know there are a lot of assessments out
there, but I
need recommendations of those that have worked in existing
districts.
I went through the archives and was not able to see any strands on
this
topic . . . but if someone knows of a strand to read, please let
me know
so
we don't re-discuss this . . . Thanks!
