EDLI636 Diagnosis and Remedation of Literacy Disorder

  The QRI-5 is the QUALITATIBE READING INVENTORY. This assesses reading levels for grades pre k -12 . This test will provide information about 1. conditions where students can identify and comprehend text successfully. 2. and conditions where they are unsuccessful.It uses word lists, concept questions and measures implicit and explicit questions.
