Title: Informal Reading Inventory: Preprimer to Twelfth Grade by Paul C. Burns, Betty D. Roe ISBN: 0-618-12220-6 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company Pub. Date: 01 July, 2001 Format: Spiral-bound Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $52.76 |

Rating: 3
Summary: Outdated!
Comment: I have been using the Burns Roe inventories for the past seven years in my elementary classes and Reading Tutor program. I find that while some of the passages are good, others are very difficult to use. The vocabulary in some passages is very outdated (like the use of the terms "bookmobile," "fife," and "roof slates"). Also, there are many stories that present situations and topics very unknown to second language learners. I also do not like that the passages are excerpts from stories, with no apparent starting points or endings. In fact, I feel that I can only successfully use two or three of the passages for each level, since the others do not give me a true reflection of students' reading comprehension.
Another problem I have is with the word lists. There is a tremendous jump in word difficulty from Level 3 to Level 4. Most of my students can read Level 5 words more easily that those in level 4. To go from words like "yellow" and "welcome" to "ancient" and "government" is a bit much.
Overall, I think that the format of the inventory is good. I just think it is time to add new, up-to-date, and less confusing passages.

Summary: Informal Reading Inventory Review
Comment: I have been using the Burns and Roe Reading Inventory for 6 years. As a Primary Reading teacher, I find it a very useful tool for classroom teachers to use for providing instruction at a child's point of need. I also use the assessments as benchmarks, to show growth in reading skills at various points in the year. This inventory is easy to use, and is very accurate.
