Qualitative Reading Inventory Created 2026-10-25 Updated 2026-11-05
The Qualitative Reading Inventory is an assessment resource using graded word lists and passages to examine reading accuracy, rate and comprehension in oral and silent reading. Passage retelling and answers to questions provide different kinds of evidence about understanding. Comparing these with word-list performance can help separate decoding difficulty from difficulty constructing meaning, while keeping the demands of the particular passage and response format explicit.
