1. What is Phil-IRI?

2. Why was the Phil-IRI
developed?

3. What can Phil-IRI tell the teachers?
-The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) can tell
teachers whether students are reading at,
above, or below their grade levels. The
individually administered Phil-IRI Graded
Passages can be used to assess students’ Oral
Reading, Silent Reading Comprehension and/or
Listening Comprehension levels.

4. Who needs to take the Phil-IRI?
-All students in Grades 3 to 6 will undergo the
Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) in Filipino,
while students in Grades 4 to 6 will undergo
the GST in English. Students identified to be
performing below level of expectation (those
with a total Raw Score below 14 in the PhilIRI
GST) should undergo further assessment
through the individually administered Phil-IRI
graded passages.

5. When should the Phil-IRI be administered?
-The following table below shows the
administration schedule of Group Screening
Test and the Individualized Phil-IRI
assessments. Group assessments must be
conducted within class time while Individual
assessments may be conducted outside class
hours.

7. How long does it take to administer the
Phil-IRI?
-The administration of the Phil-IRI GST
for a whole class takes approximately 30
minutes. The time it takes to administer
the Phil-IRI Graded Passages would vary
for each student

8. Who can administer the
Phil-IRI?

9. Who can administer the Phil-IRI?
- All Filipino subject teachers for Grades 3 to
6 and English subject teachers for Grades 4 to
6 can administer the Phil-IRI Group Screening
Tests in their respective classes. ELLN-trained
teachers can administer the Phil-IRI Graded
Passages to individual students who need
further assessment.The region and/or division
can also conduct training programs to
teachers on the conduct of the Phil-IRI

10. The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test
The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) is a
silently-administered test in both Filipino and
English. Each tool is composed of a 20-item
comprehension test based on a set of leveled
passages for each grade level covering Grades
3 to 6 in Filipino and Grades 4 to 6 in English.
The passages were written and selected based
on concept load, level of vocabulary used,
sentence complexity, nature of themes and
cohesion.

11. In consideration of Abadzi’s1 (2014) recommendations on the kind
and size of font and spacing options in between letters used in
textbooks, the font features in Table 2 were followed in the design
of the tools

12. The Phil-IRI Graded Passages
(Set A, B, C, and D)
-The Phil-IRI Graded Passages is an informal
individualized assessment tool used to record
the student’s performance in oral reading,
silent reading and/or listening
comprehension.

13. The Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test is
administered in order to:
• identify the student’s miscues in oral
reading;
• record the number of words that a student
reads per minute; and
• find out how well a student understands
the passage read.

14. The Phil-IRI Listening Comprehension is
administered when the student is identified
as a nonreader. The purpose is to find out
how well a student understands the selection
which will be read by the test administrator.
Then the test administrator reads the
multiple choice questions and the student
answers them orally

15. The Phil-IRI Silent Reading Test
may be administered after the Oral
Reading Test is conducted to further
check the student’s comprehension
skill. This is an optional activity.

16. General Directions for
Administration
Stage 1: Initial Screening Using the Phil-IRI Group
Screening Test
Stage 2: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages
(Pre-test)
Stage 3: Provision of Specialized
Instruction/Intervention
Stage 4: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages
(Post Test)

18. Figure 2. Flowchart for the Administration of the Phil-IRI: Stage 2

19. STAGE 3:
Provision of Specialized Instruction/Reading
Intervention Once all the data describing the
child’s reading performance has been gathered,
the teacher may use this information to design
an intervention program (i.e. remedial reading
program) or adjust classroom instruction. (see
Appendix H for a full discussion of the Handbook
on Suggested Intervention)

20. STAGE 4:
Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages
(Posttest) After receiving specialized instruction,
the students will be re-assessed using the Phil-IRI
Posttest Forms. The Phil-IRI Posttests have a total
of 4 parallel sets (SETS A-D) that the
testadministrator can choose from. Using these
graded passages, the test administrator must again
identify the student’s independent, instructional
and frustration levels. The posttest results may be
compared with the pre-test results.

24. The Phil-IRI Forms
A. Phil-IRI Forms for Group Screening Test
1. Phil-IRI Form 1A: Talaan ng Pangkatang Pagtatasa ng Klase (PPK) sa
Phil-IRI
-The Phil-IRI Form 1A is to be used for the GST in Filipino. The objectives
of completing and submitting this form include the following: a) to identify
the types of questions (literal, inferential or critical) that each child can
answer; b) to classify the students to be recommended for administration
of the Phil-IRI tests
2. Phil-IRI Form 1B: Summary of the Phil-IRI Group Screening Test
Class Reading Record (CRR)
-This form has the same content and objectives as the Phil-IRI Form 1A.
Phil-IRI Form 1B is to be used for the GST in English. A sample of this form
is shown in Appendix B2
