[MOSAIC] Corrections!!

[Pam Cook]

An IRI is an independent reading inventory, which can be purchased OR teacher made (following IRI guidelines).  IRA refers to the International Reading Association most often.  If you are not a member, I would suggest joining since the publications of this very large professional organization are extremely helpful in the field of reading.  Even though I am no longer working as a reading specialist, I still subscribe to Reading Teacher and, of course, their newspaper-like Reading Today.  You may even be interested in their upper-level Reading Research Quarterly.  There is probably a local affiliate of IRA in your area.  The state organization usually sponsors the annual reading conference in your state.
 
Let me also add that, even though I live in North Carolina (which holds an excellent conference annually) the annual conference of the West Virginia Reading Association is a very high quality conference.  Both organizations have an online presence.

I would like to know what the differences are between an IRA and IRI (I'm 
thinking informal reading assessments and inventories.... but I am wondering if 
these instruments are published or teacher made?)
