Scholastic Reading Inventory is a reading comprehension test that assesses students' reading levels, tracks students' reading growth over time, and helps guide instruction according to students' needs.

A research-based program, SRI has been the subject of many scientific validation studies. The SRI research ranges from a norming study with a sample of 512,224 students to an analysis of gender, race, and ethnic differences among 19,000 fourth through ninth grade students.

The SRI Technical Guide provides full information for educators concerning the development of SRI Interactive, its technical characteristics-both validity and reliability—and the scores that students receive from SRI Interactive. If you would like an individual copy of the SRI Technical Guide (which is also included with SRI product packages) please call toll-free 1-877-268-6871.
