Details: I use the QRI to assess my first graders 3 times each year. I changed schools this year, and my new school did not have a copy of this book. I just had to get it for my classroom. It is a wonderful resource to have.
Review Summary: Review for QRI-4th Edition
Date: 2008-09-16
Details: This is an important resource for anyone working in the field of K-12 education. The text teaches you how to use the assessment tool and provides assessment materials for students at all reading levels. This book was required for a class I am taking, and Amazon's price was much better than the student bookstore's price. The text also comes with a CD for easy access to assessment materials.
Review Summary: Just a little bit better than the old ones

Details: I had to buy this book for a graduate class. I used the QRI II all the time in my school. As the special education teacher, it was a quick and easy assessment for those first meetings. The new one is a little more organized.
Overall it is a quick and easy assessment tool.
Review Summary: Qualitative Reading Inventory-4
Date: 2008-06-18
Details: Great informal reading inventory. It is a little tricky to administer but gets easier with repeated usage. Comes with CD that has sample videos of administering and the necessary recording forms.
Review Summary: Great Assessment Tool
Date: 2008-03-17
Details: If you are familiar at all with the Flynt & Cooter IRI, you will love the QRI-4. You have stories with pictures, and without pictures, and now you do not need to find words lists like "San Diego Quick." This books gives you everything you need. Why didn't I give it a 5 then? I wish they would have organized it better than they did.
