Designed to help educators assess the “Big Five” components of reading instruction as identified by the National Reading Panel—phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension—the CRI is recognized as a leader in the field for its ability to ensure quick and reliable assessment of the reading skills and needs of students in grades Pre-K through 12. The groundbreaking features that made this book’s original edition a top choice of teachers and literacy coaches for many decades are continued here, along with a number of changes that make the analysis of data more efficient and increase student learning, among them a Spanish version to help educators better serve the needs of English speakers and/or English learners.

Using a constructivist approach, this informal inventory provides current and future teachers with a simple, straightforward means of assessing reading competencies for pre-K through grade 12 students. Comes with audiotape and readers' passages. Reading Inventory for the Classroom, Fourth Edition enables teachers to place students with appropriate reading and instructional materials, acquire insight into reading developments (reading of connected text, word analysis, story and content comprehension, miscue analysis), place students in appropriate basal reading programs, plan collaborative learning activities involving reading, planning, mini-lessons, and determine which non-negotiable student skills require further development.

It is well known that the number of non-English speakers is on the rise in the United States. What is less well known is that the largest proportion of this population is children under the age of 5. These young English language learners (ELLs) often demonstrate achievement gaps in basic math and reading skills when they start school. How best to educate this important and growing preschool population is a pressing concern for policymakers and practitioners. The chapters in this important book provide up-to-date syntheses of the research base for young ELLs on critical topics such as demographics, development of bilingualism, cognitive and neurological benefits of bilingualism, and family relationships, as well as classroom, assessment, and teacher-preparation practices.
