Title: Bader Reading and Language Inventory
Description: "Examiners gain flexibility in obtaining information for ensuring a reader's growth, assessing the effectiveness of specific reading approaches, and diagnosing a wide range of literacy needs. Teachers, reading specialists, and clinicians turn to this comprehensive reading and language inventory to carry out every aspect of effective reading and learning assessment-from a quick screening through a comprehensive reading assessment. The design of the inventory allows examiners the flexibility to obtain information for measuring a reader's growth, assessing the effectiveness of specific reading approaches, and diagnosing a wide range of literacy needs. The assessment model includes personal interviews and student reflection, observations, informal and formal tests, and diagnostic teaching, plus valuable research-based tools and guides that complement the assessment model and provide a balance of assessment practice that doesn't over-test students. The materials in the Bader Reading and Language Inventory can be used to assess students at a wide range of ages, from preschool children through adults. The new Seventh Edition features important updates and revisions to the graded passages, including two sets of passages, an elementary set and a secondary/adult set; a second form of graded passages offering greater range from which the evaluator can choose; revisions to the subtests and graded word list test; updating for relevance for use with ELL children and adults; and an updated DVD and instructor forms."--Publisher's website.
