Slide 16 of 29
Notes:
On the QRI the examiner assesses comprehension one of two ways.
Ask for a retell of the selection or ask questions.
The percentage correct on the questions is used to determine comprehension level : independent, instructional, or frustration. If both are used the examiner should ask for a ret-tell before asking the questions.
After reading ,examiner removes passage and asks the students to re-tell it as if it were being told to someone who had never read or heard it before. Score by comparing the ideas recalled by the student with those listed on the scoring sheet. May indicate sequence by numbering the responses. Also a space to write in any other ideas mentioned. Some have suggested that re-tell is the valid measure of reading comprehension despite the fact that it is very difficult to score. Example:
QRI includes both explicit and implicit questions for each passage. Reading between the lines that is so hard for many students with learning disabilities.
Because of the number of passages at each grade level (5 or ^) able to assess comprehension for both oral and silent reading, and narrative and expository texts.
