The Reading Inventory is an inference- based test. This means:

1. You must read all the answers and the entire passage before clicking on an answer. 2. The answer cannot be found directly in the passage—you must use the clues in the passage to determine an answer. 3. You will most likely need to reread the passage to determine the correct answer before clicking on “NEXT.”

Testing Environment If you have any trouble logging in to the program, your teacher will help
- you. Do not ask a friend or neighbor.
Once your classmate starts, it could interrupt their thinking.

Testing Environment
- Your teacher will be walking around
monitoring the class to answer any questions you may have.

Testing Environment
- A quiet testing environment is VERY important!
When you are finished, do not move around, play computer games, or talk. You must quietly read your book when you finish the test.
- You only take The Reading Inventory 1-2 times
a year. Take it very seriously so your results show your true abilities.
