Pedro was asked to read the passage “The Snail with the Biggest House,” a Grade 5
Pre-test passage which has 103 words. It took him 1.5 minutes (90 seconds) to read
the passage. Dividing 103 words by 90 seconds will yield 69; thus, Pedro's reading
rate is 69 words per minute.
If Pedro got 4 correct answers out of the 7 comprehension questions, his comprehension
level is computed using the following formula:
5 100 6 100
5 83
4 80
4 67
5 3 60 6
3 50
2 40 2 33
1 20 1 17
To illustrate, let us look at Karlo who is in Grade 4. His word reading and comprehension
scores are as follows:
The learner’s word reading score and comprehension score should be taken together
to determine a comprehensive reading profile for that passage. A description of the
student’s reading profile in word reading and comprehension per passage is presented
in Table 8.
Table 8. Student’s Reading Profile Per Passage
The teacher likewise records the behavior of the student while reading using the
Observation Checklist in Table 13 (adapted from Gray Oral Reading Behavior). (See
Appendix D, Phil IRI Form 4).
