  1. Scholastic Reading Inventory-InteractiveTraining Module

  2. What is the SRI Interactive? • Interactive reading comprehension test • An assessment of student reading levels • Scores are reported in Lexiles

  3. Who should take the SRI? • The SRI is designed for students who can read. • It is recommended that teachers take an SRI BEFORE students.

  4. If students are unable to read, should the SRI be read to them? • The SRI is for students who are readers.

  5. REFLECT • Why is it important for you as a teacher to take this test? • What environmental conditions should exist for students during this test?

  6. How does the SRI-Interactive work?

  7. 1. Student logs onto computer. • 2. Student answers questions about his/her reading interests to prepare a customized reading list.

  8. Student selects favorite types of books.

  9. Book Interest Screens Grades K-2 Grades 6+ Grades 3-5

  10. Student takes a short Practice Test. • 4. The test begins.

  11. Students take the practice test.

  12. Practice Test Optional Practice Test • To make sure student understands directions. • To make sure student knows how to use computer. • Approximately three to five questions in length. Directions can be read aloud by the computer.

  13. Student takes the SRI-Interactive test.

  14. Compute-Adaptive Technology

  15. Assess Reading Levels through Graduate School

  16. The test ends when a student has • answered enough questions to accurately • calculate a Lexile measure. • Student receives a • Recommended Reading List.

  17. Why does SRI work? • Authentic text passages • Fiction, non-fiction, high interest low readability passages • Require students to use inference, draw conclusions, demonstrate knowledge of content vocabulary, and higher order thinking skills

  18. Why does SRI work? • Computer Adaptive Technology • Test adapts to student responses. Test automatically steps up or down according to performance. • Adaptive technology only requires student to do as many questions as needed to calculate accurate Lexile. • Test bank of 3000 questions ensures that no two tests are identical.

  19. Why does SRI work? • Flexible • Test can be administered at any computer station or on a number of computers. • Appropriate for all students who are reading. • Settings are easily adjusted to accommodate specific student needs.

  20. What is a Lexile? A Lexile is a unit for measuring text difficulty. The word Lexile is a blend of the root word “Lex”, which refers to words, and echoes the word “percentile”, a comparative unit of measure.

  21. Test takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes To complete.

  22. How do you use a Lexile Measure? On Grade Level Lexile Range Student Tested Lexile: 729L

  23. Recommended Reading List • Selected Interest areas based on initial selection • Measured Reading Level • reported in Lexiles • Grade Level – • Developmentally appropriate

  24. REFLECT • How often should the SRI be given? • What possible exceptions might exist?
