Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This is the only reading inventory on the market to support the treatment of reading as a thinking process through questions and assessments that measure not only readers' ability to recall facts, but also whether they can draw logical conclusions about those facts and respond critically to those conclusions. This book includes both narrative and expository readers' passages for use with pre-K readers through readers in grade 9; and is written in an accessible, inviting style. Through the use of longer passages, multi-level assessments, and case studies, the authors provide a truly effective means to secure a differential analysis of a child's reading comprehension performance. Three distinct levels of comprehension questions: text-based, inferential, and critical—assist in grouping readers by ability levels, from simple recall to critical engagement with text. Case studies of three levels of diagnostic analysis helps teachers understand the difference between readers who are having genuine difficulty and readers who are simply reluctant. Rubrics for retelling and for fluency stress that word recognition must be assessed within the context of comprehension. Inclusion of the simplified miscue analysis technique highlights both the reader's strategies and his/her orientation. Written for pre-K through grade 9 teachers.

The April 2008 of THE READING TEACHER, published by the International Reading Association gives high ratings to the Critical Reading Inventory-2 for use with students in this NCLB and Reading First era. Eight IRIs were analyzed, and this inventory rated very positively.

The CRI II is a wonderful reading tool to assess students reading and thinking. Most IRI's are text based. The CRI II takes reading inventories to the subsequent level, it assesses students critical and inferential thinking. We know reading is not just spitting back text based information yet it involves a deeper understanding of the text. The CRI II helps educators identify what students are not "thinking" while reading. The data gathered from the inventory helps teachers and specialists design lessons and programs that fit the needs of their students. Unlike other inventories, the CRI II passages are interesting and engaging. The students actually enjoy reading the passages!! I would have to say it is by far the best reading inventory I have used.

I am a huge fan of the CRI-2. As a reading specialist, it is a fantastic tool to identify strengths and weaknesses within a reader. I especially like the differentiation of the critical reasoning skills. The CRI-2 identifies areas of strength and weakness that the other inventories do not focus on. The CRI-2 is user friendly, parent friendly and an all around great tool.

It is hard to believe that Gluckman was talking about the same inventory that I used. The CRI is a breeze to learn; the instructions are crystal clear and there is a DVD in case you need visual learning. The 2nd edition includes a subset of words that are included in both the word lists and the passages so if you want to explore the relationship between isolation and context, it is a no brainer. Why the CRI would take longer to find appropriate levels is a mystery to me. Just read the manual--they explain all kinds of variations and short cuts for using the test. As far as the kids hating it goes, does anyone out there know of a reading test that kids love? For my money, the CRI has infinitely better stories and passages than the other inventories, and I've used many of them!
The big advantage of the CRI over the others is that it tests the kids' ability to think about as well as remember what they read. I'll grant you that thought-provoking questions are tougher to score, but the web-based tutorials included with CRI 2 make it simple for even novices to score. The retelling rubrics are unique and I'll admit that they are a bit complicated but there is a downloadable program that will calculate those scores automatically. It will also calculate all kinds of word recognition and comprehension percentages automatically and that makes analysis and reporting really simple. The program will even print out a professional looking recapitulation record. As far as I'm concerned, the CRI is way ahead of the curve in assessment and technology. I've been down the road with the other inventories and I'm not going back.

I think the CRI is an excellent tool for reading assessment. I've had a great deal of sucess finding student levels quickly and effectively through the use of this program. It is easy to use and the testing results are much more accurate and clear than the IRI. I would highly recommend this program.
