The Video and Resource DVD for Qualitative Reading Inventory-5 provides models and resources to aid teachers in administering and scoring the QRI-5.
The DVD is more user-friendly than in previous editions and includes many new features. As requested by users of the QRI, examples of students reading orally are included to provide practice for the novice user. Scored protocols accompany these readings. In addition, the directions for administering each segment of the QRI are presented on one page, and tables or charts that increase the consistency of administration, scoring, and interpretation are included. Finally, all student and examiner copies are included on the DVD.
