[Pibe-division] Scholastic Reading Inventory

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Marianne
When you test, just be very clear with parents and school this is comprehension only.....and reading skills need to be worked on to gain grade level performance---you do want the starting points of reading speed, accuracy, fluency also....just let them know there is a difference in all these.
