Scholastic Reading Inventory- *Updated 9/7/18
Scholastic Reading Inventory is a computer-adaptive assessment designed to measure how well readers in grades 1-12 read literature and expository texts of varying difficulties. SRI measures reading comprehension by focusing on skills readers use when studying written materials sampled from various content areas. These comprehension skills are required in order to answer SRI questions correctly:
Identifying details in a passage
Identifying cause-and-effect relationships and the sequence of events
Drawing conclusions
Making comparisons and generalizations
All SRI test questions are based on authentic text passages, both fiction and nonfiction, increasing test validity as well as student interest and motivation. The test is quick to take and the difficulty of each test question is based on a student’s previous responses.
