Appendix B- The Informal Reading Inventory (IRI)
The reading ability of a learner is crucial to the Open High School System because most
of the time the learner is an independent learner.
The use of the informal reading inventory(IRI) shall help the teacher determine a
learner’s reading level. The independent level is the stage in which the learner can read
successfully with little or no aid because fluency and comprehension are developed well
enough. The learner’s instructional level signals an area of difficulty. It may mean that the book
or reading material is too difficult for the learner. The learner’s Struggling/beginning level may
mean frequent face-to-face session from the subject area teacher. The learner may be required
to report weekly or as desired by his/her teacher facilitator.
The results of the IRI shall help the school in determining prospective enrollees. Thus, an
oral and silent test must be likewise conducted before a learner is officially accepted.

B. Administration of a Silent Reading Test
1. Prepare questions that determine the learner’s ability to use various parts of the text.
Ex. On what part of the text will you find information on _________________________.
3. When preparing the questions, be careful to provide items that assess the many
operations of comprehension skills (recognition or recall of facts, concepts, information;
convergence or divergence of concepts; evaluation of facts, information, concepts and
situation).
5. The learner can be timed if you are interested in his/her reading rate.
C. Interpretation
On the silent reading test (if learner is able to answer correctly 91-100%) of the questions,
then she/he is at the independent level, if 70-90% are correctly answered, she/he is at the
instructional level. The beginning level has been reached if the learner has not answered at
least 70% of the posed questions.
