Classroom Reading Inventory with Teacher Resource CD-ROM and Inventory Administration Kit

This classic resource is ideal for pre-service and in-service teachers who use an informal reading inventory test to help identify student reading problems. It is brief and easy to use, with a spiral-bound format. The CRI (Classroom Reading Inventory) is especially useful for teachers who have little or no experience with informal reading inventories; it can be administered in fifteen minutes or less. Forms A and C follow a sub skills format and Form B follows a reader response format, predicting and retelling stories. This edition is accompanied by more supplements than any other inventory on the market.
