This is the only reading inventory on the market to offer prospective teachers of preschool through Grade 12 the simple, straightforward miscue analysis method for assessing their pupils' level of competency in reading. Pre-service teachers will gain insight into reading development, understanding how assessing that progress forms instruction, determining which non-negotiable skills require further development. Teachers using basal programs will find the inventory simple to use in the classroom to help place students into developmentally appropriate basal materials. Teachers using literature-based programs will find the inventory helpful in planning mini-lessons for instruction in both comprehension and word analysis skills.
