Summary

Over 40 years ago, the Classroom Reading Inventory was created to the need for a quick, easy-to-use and accurate diagnosis of the reading levels of individual students. This need continues to be critically important today for practicing teachers in the field, pre-service teachers being certified in reading and for graduate students returning to renew and upgrade their state accreditation. The Classroom Inventory is specially prepared for teachers and students with little or no experience with informal reading inventories, making it an excellent text for professors of education responsible for reading and literacy courses. It provides a step-by-step process so that a teacher can administer the inventory in 15 minutes or less to accurately and quickly diagnose a student's reading grade level, listening capacity and individual skills. The Classroom Reading Inventory is a good professional investment for educators. It is an all-in-one assessment kit for all reading levels, and is suitable for administration to both children and adults. Permission is granted to the purchaser to make copies of inventory pages, eliminating the need to reorder assessment forms and making it a relevant and viable diagnosis tool for years of use.
