This document discusses reading assessment in the new normal. It explains that reading assessment is important as it informs educators of a learner's current reading ability, helps determine proper interventions, and identifies if a learner is progressing adequately. There are different types of reading assessments: screening to identify at-risk students, diagnostic to plan instruction, progress monitoring to track student growth, and outcome to evaluate program effectiveness. It also discusses the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) which measures reading performance through graded passages. The document outlines who should take the Phil-IRI, when it should be administered, how to record miscues, and includes sample forms.
