The Fall Reading Inventory testing window is August 22 – September 23 The Reading Inventory is not a timed exam but does adapt to student responses.  This may mean that some students finish in 20 minutes, while other students take much longer.  Students who are in Literacy (Reading) or ELD should take the RI in those classes, rather than ELA.   Attached are the Reading Inventory Student Directions to read for students before testing Reading Inventory Accommodations are also attached.  Please make sure that student’s IEP, 504, and EL accommodations are being used in class and on these tests.  Some of the accommodations that are allowed for these tests include an alternate location, frequent breaks, extended time (these are not timed tests), and minimized distractions. Relevance of the Reading Inventory PPT to show students In order to help students understand the relevance of the Reading Inventory and the Lexile score beyond the classroom, I have created this PPT that you can choose to show your students before testing.  It goes through what Lexile would be needed for entry-level careers.   Click here to make a copy of the slides
