Compare and contrast running records and informal reading inventories
What will be an ideal response?
A running record is an individually administered reading assessment by which the teacher listens to a child read a short passage orally. Teachers can use running records to determine individual children's reading levels, to understand their word identification abilities, and to assess their rate of oral reading. An informal reading inventory (IRI) is an individually administered assessment of a student's reading abilities, in which a student reads a series of predetermined, increasingly difficult passages. An IRI is similar to a running record in that both involve the child reading a passage aloud as the teacher listens. One major difference between the two is that passages are included with an IRI, while any passage can be read in a running record. The passages provided are arranged so that you easily keep up with the speed of the child's reading. Another difference is that IRIs usually include features that are not included in running records—word lists and comprehension questions.
