INTRODUCTION
ASSESSMENT is an essential element of education
used to inform instruction (Wren, 2004). The first
step in implementing good reading instruction is to
determine student baseline performance. Students
enter the classroom with diverse backgrounds and
skills in literacy. Some students may enter the
classroom with special needs that require review
of basic skills in reading, while other students may
have mastered the content a teacher intends to
cover.

Due to these various student levels, it is necessary
to design literacy instruction to meet the individual
needs of each student. Individual needs can be
determined by initial and ongoing reading
assessments. These assessments provide teachers
with the information needed to develop
appropriate lessons and improve instruction for all
students, including students with disabilities
(Rhodes & Shanklin, 1993).

The information gained from appropriate
assessment enables teachers to provide
exceptional students with improved access to the
general education curriculum. The following
information is an overview of the purpose and
benefits of early reading assessment, examples of
data collection methods, and considerations for
selecting a measure for students.

PURPOSE AND BENEFITS
The Purpose and Benefits

of Assessment

Research provides evidence that specific

early literacy concepts can predict young
students' later reading achievement
(DeBruinParecki, 2004). These reading
concepts include letter knowledge, phonemic
awareness, decoding, fluency, and
comprehension. An effective reading program
includes assessments of all of these concepts
for several purposes.
One purpose is to identify skills that need

review. Assessment provides teachers with
information on what skills students have and
have not mastered. It is needed to help
teachers know the skill levels of their
students, since students have varying
experiences and knowledge.

A second purpose is to monitor student
progress. A teacher can learn which students
need review before covering additional
content and which students are ready to move
forward.
A third purpose is to guide teacher
instruction. Through consistent assessment, a
teacher can make informed decisions about
what instruction is appropriate for each
student.
A fourth purpose is to demonstrate the

effectiveness of instruction. The information
gained from assessment allows teachers to know
if all students are mastering the content covered.
It is important for teachers to use instructional
time effectively, and this can be done when
teachers are knowledgeable about what their
students are ready to learn and what they
already know.

Therefore, the information gained from

assessment allows a teacher to create
appropriate instruction for their students.
Additionally, a fifth purpose of
assessment is to provide teachers with
information on how instruction can be
improved.

Phil-IRI
Phil-IRI
(Philippine Informal Reading
Inventory)

What is the Phil-IRI?
> Thedevelopment of the Phil-IRI is
one of the
initiatives put in placein support of
the Every Child A Reader Program
(ECARP).
> ThePhilippine Informal Reading Inventory

(Phil-IRI)
was created to provide classroom teachers
a tool for measuring and describing
reading performance. It is an
assessment
Department of Education tool composed of Assessment
Reading graded Tool
What is the Phil-IRI for?
 This diagnostic approach to describing how children
read embraces inclusionary principles that
emphasize the need for education that is learner-
oriented, responsive and culturally sensitive.
 The Phil-IRI is one of the diagnostic tools that
teachers can use to determine a student’s abilities
and needs in reading.
 It is important to note that the Phil-IRI only provides
an approximation of the learner’s abilities and may
be used in combination with other reliable tools of
assessment.

What can the Phil-IRI tell us?
 The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) can tell

teachers whether students are reading at, or
below, their grade levels.
 The individually administered Phil-IRI Graded
Passages, can be used to assess students’ Oral
Reading, Silent Reading Comprehension and
Listening Comprehension levels.

Assessment of Oral Reading
When used to assess oral reading skills, the Phil-IRI

may be used to describe decoding and word
recognition, fluency and comprehension. The
student’s performance in decoding (the ability to
read isolated words using phonics knowledge) and
word recognition (the ability to automatically
identify words on sight) is measured through a
Reading Miscue Inventory.

Assessment of Silent Reading
When used to assess Silent Reading

Comprehension, Phil-IRI may be used to describe
reading speed and comprehension. The student’s
reading speed is measured by recording the time it
takes the child to read each passage completely.
Silent reading comprehension is measured by asking
the student to answer five to eight questions of
varying difficulty after a passage has been read.

How do we administer the Phil-IRI?

Recording Oral Reading Miscues

Recording Oral Reading Miscues

Sample of Teachers Running Record

Quantitative Analysis of Oral Reading Test
* How many miscues were observed?

What are these miscues?
* How many minutes did it take the

student to read the passage?
* How many comprehension questions

were correctly answered?

Computing the Percentage of the
Number of Words Correctly Read
No of words in the passage – number of miscues X 100

No. of words

Example:
Karlo’s performance in Oral Reading
No. of words in the passage: 65

No. of miscues: 15
65 – 15 = 50 X 100 = 76.9 %
65
% of words correctly read: 76.9 %

Computing Speed in Reading
Reading Speed = No. of words read X 60

Reading time in seconds
No. of words in the passage : 103

No. of minutes it took Karlo to read it: 90 seconds
(1.5 mins)
103 words read

= 69 words per minute
90 seconds
Karlo’s reading rate: 69 words per minute

Computing of Comprehension
Comprehension = No. of correct answers X 100

No. of questions
No. of correct answers: 4

Total number of questions: 7
4 = .57 X 100 = 57 %
7
Karlo’s comprehension skill: 57 %

Determining the Reading Level
Reading Level – the level at which the

learner can read and comprehend a
leveled text or graded passage.
Different Reading Levels:

> Independent
> Instructional
> Frustration

Independent Level
“I can read this on my own.”

> The level at which a learner can read and
comprehend a leveled text on his/her own.
> The reader is familiar with most, if not all,

of the words in the text. The pupils reads
smoothly, fluently and with expression.
> The level of comprehension is high.

Instructional Level
“I can read this with my teacher’s help.”
> The level at which a learner can read and
comprehend a leveled text with some
guidance.
> 90% of the words are familiar for the
reader, S/he hesitates reading some words.
> The reader understands most of what is

read.
Frustration Level
“This is difficult.”
> The level at which a learner experiences
much difficulty in reading and
comprehending a leveled text
> Most words are unfamiliar; hence, reading
is choppy with lots of hesitations.
> The readers rarely understands what s/he

is reading.
Oral Reading Profile

Karlo’s Reading Profile
Word Reading Score : 1.5 minutes = 76.9 % Frustration
Comprehension Score : 4 out of 7 = 57 % Frustration
Reading Rate : 69.5 words per minute

Magpalipad Tayo ng Saranggola

Maganda ang panahon. Gustong maglaro ni Niko. Niyaya ni Niko na
maglaro ang kakambal na si Noli. Pumunta ang kambal sa labas. May
dala silang mga saranggola. Makukulay ang mga saranggola ng
kambal.
Pinalipad agad nila ang mga saranggola. Mataas ang lipad ng
saranggola ni Niko.
Napansin ni Niko si Noli. Nakasimangot si Noli habang nakatingin kay
Niko.
“Halika, tuturuan kita ng tamang pagpapalipad.” sabi ni Niko.
Ngumiti si Noli. Ipinakita ni Niko kay Noli kung paano magpalipad.
Ilang saglit pa, nakatawa na itong nagpapalipad ng saranggola.
“Salamat, Niko,” wika niya.

Mang Sammy
Mahilig magliis ng bahay at bakuran si Mang Sammy. Araw-araw ay
nakikita siyang naglilinis ng bahay. Nagwawalis siya sa loob at labas ng
bahay. Nagpupunas siya ng alikabok. Namumulot siya ng kalat. Kaya
lang, ang lahat ng basura at kalat niya ay itinatapon niya sa may sapa.
Nagpalagay ang pinuno ng samahang magkakapitbahay ng karatula sa
sapa. Nakasulat sa karatula ang “Bawal ang magtapon ng basura rito.”
Hindi pa rin sinunod ni Mang Sammy ang sinsabi ng karatula.
Isang araw, walang tigil ang ulan. Mula umaga hanggang hapon ang
bagsak ng ulan. Tumaas ang tubig sa sapa hanggang bumaha na sa
kalye. Pumasok ang tubig baha sa bahay nina Mang Sammy! Napansin
niya na hindi lamang tubig baha ang pumasok sa kanyang bahay.
Sumama rin ang basurang kanyang itinapon sa sapa!

Summer Fun
“Let’s have some summer fun,” says Leo.
“Let’s go swimming in the river,” says Lina.
“Let’s pick some guavas from the tree,” says Leo.
“Let’s pick flowers,” says Lina.
“That is so much fun!” says Mama.
“But can you help me clean up the house too?”
“Yes we can,” they say.
“Helping can be fun too!”

Background of the development of the
reading assessment tool
After looking at the different data on the
reading and academic performance of the
different schools in the entire City Division of
Koronadal, it shows that our present
academic performance is greatly affected by
the pupils’ poor reading ability as shown in
SREYA, NAT & LAPG (c/o Division Early
Reading Program Presentation Paper)
Grade One pupils’ reading ability in the
Mother Tongue should be monitored and
given priority to arrest non- readers in the
future thus an assessment shall be
conducted to keep a reading profile in class,
school, district and division. Pupils’ Reading
Profile is a suitable basis for sound classroom
instruction and reading intervention
program.

This assessment Tool is contextualized in four
languages to serve the needs of the adopted
Mother Tongues of Koronadal City Division
which are as follows:
1. Hiligaynon-mostly of the elementary
schools
2. Binisaya- Mambucal ES
3. Tagalog- Magsaysay ES, Caloocan ES and
Namnama ES
4. B’laan- Nelmida ES and Ulo-Mlao ES
How to use the Assessment Tool?
Part One:
Simple Listening Comprehension:
5 points
In this part we are assessing the ability of the
pupil to understand information involve in
the text. Since we are evaluating the listening
comprehension of the child, the teacher
reads the short story to the pupil; allow
him/her to answer the questions orally.
Part Two:
Phonological Awareness:
5 points
Phonological Awareness is a skill which
shows the child’s ability to distinguish sound
in a spoken language like initial, middle and
final sound. The teacher must ask the pupil
to name each picture and to give the initial
sound of each object.

Part Three:
Phonics or Sound Identification:
26 points
Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice,
think about and work with the
individual sounds in spoken words. The
teacher encircles every letter that a
child can sound.

Part Four:
Alphabet Knowledge:
26 points
This part is divided into two parts: Upper
Case and Lower Case with 26 items
respectively. The teacher encircles every
letter that a child can name.

Part Five:
Word Recognition:
10 points
This part assesses the ability of the pupil to
recognize words in the target language.
Words should be read by the pupils
independently. The teacher encircles every
word that a child can read.

About the Data Gathering
Scores for each domain specified in this

tool must be recorded using the scoring
sheet or can be directly encoded to your
laptop using the available E-Tool. The
Electronic Copy of the data should be
submitted to the division on the date
stipulated in the Division Office.
