[LIT] data records for kids reading

[Heather Poland]

I wouldn't use Running Records for middle school students. They are designed
for primary grades. The QRI is a really good informal reading assessment. It
takes a little while to give, but it gives you awesome data.

There is a passage, I usually have them read it silently first, then out
loud so I can do miscue analysis. I don't do the outloud every time, but
definitely to get a baseline. Then, there are comprehension questions at the
end and a spot for a retelling. I like the QRI specifically because it asks
different types of questions- inferential, literal, etc. so you can see
exactly what the student needs.
