Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)

The SRI, Scholastic Reading Inventory, is a research-based, standardized, timed online assessment measuring reading comprehension. A CLOZE-type assessment, the SRI requires the ability to understand context and vocabulary in order to identify the correct words or type of words that belong in the deleted passages of a text.

CELA

The Colorado English Language Acquisition Proficiency Assessment (CELApro) is designed to provide a picture of students English Language Development. The primary purpose of the assessment program is to determine the level at which Colorado NEP and LEP students meet the Colorado English Language Development Standards in four domains (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing). (A- Advanced, P- Proficient, I- Intermediate, EI- Early In).

Curriculum Based Measurements (CBMs) at Grade Level =>

R-CBM: Reading

Aimsweb R-CBM reading fluency is a 1 minute standardized leveled reading probe scoring correct words per minute (cwpm) and errors. Percentiles range from 1-100, with the 50th%ile ranked as average performance. Scores below the 12th %ile are considered significantly below grade level.

XX is periodically progress monitored on grade level probes.

GORT4 (Gray Oral Reading Test)

XX was given the GORT (Gray Oral Reading Test) on #/#/# at age #:#. The GORT is a district approved targeted reading assessment that provides an objective measure of growth in oral reading and helps determine reading difficulties. The test provides clear scores for rate, accuracy, fluency, and comprehension, as well as an overall reading quotient (ORQ). The Average performance band is defined as : Standard Score 8-12, 25th -75th%ile, and an Oral Reading Quotient of 90-110.

* Outcome Data - State and District Achievement Assessments:

Denver Public Schools Interims

District Interim Assessments measure expected grade level performance for the end of the school year - Test 3 determines if grade level performance has been achieved - Test 1 and 2 scores should be interpreted with caution - they measure how much the student already can do on the END of the grade level expectations. (A- Advanced, P- Proficient, PP - Partially Proficient, U - Unsatisfactory).
