Synopsis

The most comprehensive assessment tool of its kind, this diagnostic battery of tests is easy for busy K-12 teachers to administer and to interpret. The inventory measures both literacy and pre-literacy development and is simple and straight forward to administer. The test battery includes student interest inventories, graded word lists, tests for phonemic awareness and phonics, reader's passages for determining reading and listening levels, measures for oral language, visual and auditory discrimination, and writing and arithmetic subtests. It also provides valid, reliable procedures for individual, in-depth assessment and is easily accessible for English Language Learners. The case studies within this text and ancillary videos accompanying this text equip professors with the means to show students how to administer the inventory and identify the struggling student.

From the Back Cover

The current edition of the most comprehensive reading inventory. Based on the latest cognitive research, The Bader Reading and Language Inventory offers a range of devices and graded passages to test reading ability through the twelfth grade level. The inventory includes pre-literacy and word-identification tests to ensure a comprehensive assessment and an arithmetic test to determine competence independent of verbal skills. It also provides instructions for administering and evaluating the tests and a scoring guide for each passage. In addition, experiential word lists permit testing of individuals with little formal schooling and those for whom English is a second language. Also includes several unique sections: "Classroom Teacher's Reading Referral" (passages for classroom assessment); "Interest and Attitude" (determine a students' optimal instructional environment); and "Portfolio Assessment" (guidelines for classroom use, establishing criteria, and selecting appropriate portions of the inventory). The third edition of The Bader Reading and Language Inventory now includes a separate booklet of reading passages, a greater emphasis on portfolio and "authentic" assessment, and the inclusion of an ESL test. An essential diagnostic tool for educators.
