QRI-5 is Qualitative Reading Inventory-5, is an individually administered informal reading inventory that provides information about (1) conditions under which students can identify words and comprehend text successfully and (2) conditions that appear to result in unsuccessful word identification or comprehension.

The purpose of using QRI-5 is to identify students’ reading levels-independent, and frustration and provide valuable diagnostic information.

Have you ever seen similar assessment activates like QRI-5? Yes

The reading assessment tool is Fountas & Pinnell (called F&Ps) covers whole group instruction, small group, and individual. I have used this assessment tool to determine individual reading levels. It is comprised of reading, phonics, spelling, and word study. Students are moved up immediately after the read aloud to higher reading grade-level and it motivates more readers. I would also like to add Guide Reading as a similar assessment because the tracking sheet used is for each student to check areas of growth and areas in reading and comprehension not yet attained.  

What is your impression of QRI-5?

My impression is –QRI-5 is a very useful informal assessment tool that provides vocabulary words and reading passages. Word recognition has hindered student’s reading skills and so he gives more options for sustainable assessments. Fluency-accuracy, oral and silent reading gives the teacher to assess how the student is reading. The student can also her himself read which can help self –assessment as well as provide flexibility to aid the student to develop a love for reading.
