Wheelock (U. of Missouri-Kansas City) and Campbell present the Classroom Reading Inventory to help pre-service and in-service teachers who have little or no experience with informal inventories diagnose students' reading capacity and problems. A literacy assessment based on sets of word lists and passages used to estimate students' oral and silent reading skills, the inventory can be administered in 12 to 15 minutes and used with all ages and levels of readers. This edition has revised word lists, new multicultural stories, and new audio and video clips, expanded demonstrations, high school and adult testing material, and case studies online.
