[Pibe-division] Scholastic Reading Inventory

[Kristen J Sims]

If he is listening to you or to JAWS, you will not be getting an accurate reading level anyway unless he is using a braille display. My colleagues working with younger students use the Jerry Johns inventory to test for reading level. You can modify this to use in the medium he is most comfortable with. (braille, braille with print support, extra large super jumbo print <smile>) I would advise against reading aloud unless it is noted as listening comprehension only, since this score tends to be much higher than reading independently.

Subject: [Pibe-division] Scholastic Reading Inventory
I have a student in 6th grade.  He is in the process of learning
braille.  The school district administers the computer version of the
Scholastic Reading Inventory.  He cannot read the information on the
computer but we would like to know his comprehension level.  Is this
program accessible with JAWS or will he need a reader?  I appreciate
any information about this assessment.
