Reading Assessments

All students have completed the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI); a test that evaluates a student’s reading level. In the test, students complete questions about passages they have read. These passages come from fiction and nonfiction books. Passages come from informational materials as well. Once the test is completed, the results are reported using the Lexile Framework for Reading. This is a scale for measuring a student’s reading level. This helps teachers place students in the READ 180 software program, match students to books for independent reading, and track each student’s growth. A letter will be sent home soon explaining your child’s SRI test results and his/her progress thus far with the Read 180 software.
