[MOSAIC] Best IRI

[demillereed at aol.com]

I like the Stieglitz very much because the passages start at a very low level and there are many to use at each level.? It also contains a phonemic awareness assessment that I find to be very helpful diagnostically and for progress monitoring my Title I students.

What INFORMAL READING INVENTORY (IRI) do you prefer? I have used the Stieglitz, 
Burns & Roe, Silvarolli and a few from reading textbooks. We use the DRA for 
grades 1 and 2 at present but we switch to the IRI in grades 3 and 4, largely 
because of time constraints. 

I have seen some reviews of Burns and Roe in which people feel some of the 
passages are very dated. The Silvarolli (in my opinion) is the least accurate. I 
like the Stieglitz for a number of reasons. Any thoughts about any of these or 
other IRIs? And what about the QRI? How does it compare?

Thanks for your advice! :)
