This document discusses reading assessment tools and their importance. It begins by outlining the objectives of the session, which are to identify different assessment tools for profiling reading ability, understand how tools can track improvement, simulate assessment, and explain the advantages of assessment tools. It then introduces several tools: the Phil-IRI allows assessment of oral reading, silent reading, and listening comprehension to determine a student's reading level. Administering it involves initial screening, oral reading tests, and analyzing performance both quantitatively and qualitatively. Assessment provides critical information about students' skills and progress to guide effective instruction.
