GATHERING INFORMATION USING THE
GROUP SCREENING TEST OF THE PHIL-IRI
The Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) can tell teachers
whether students are reading at, or below, their grade placement.
The GST has the following features:
• There is a screening test for each grade level.
• Each test includes 3-4 selections.
• There is a Filipino and an English version.
• Each selection has multiple-choice items.
• The total number of test items is worth 20 points.
• The cut-off point for referral is a raw score of 14. Those who
score 13 points and below are referred for further testing.

STAGE 1
INITIAL (PHIL-IRI GROUP SCREENING TEST)
■ All Students from Grade 3-6
(Filipino) and Grades 4-6
(English) shall undergo a 20-item
multiple-choice GST to be
accomplished within 30 minutes
per area during class time.
■ English 7-10 GST is 25 items
■ Students must have completed
2 tests, Filipino and English
RESULT OF GST
■ If Raw Score is less
than 14, the student
undergoes further
testing
■ If Raw Score is equal
or greater than 14:
● Student continues
receiving classroom
instruction
● No need to undergo
further testing
● No need for reading
remediation

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF THE GROUP
SCREENING TESTS
The Group Screening Test (GST) in
Filipino was administered to a second grade
class of 41 students in an average-performing
public school in Quezon City. After an hour of
test-taking the session yielded the following
results:

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF THE GROUP
SCREENING TESTS
4th Grade

Based on the results of the GST, 26 students
passed the test and no longer need further testing,
However, 15 students scored below the cut-off score
which comprises 37% of the whole class. The conduct
of the Phil-IRI individualized assessment need only be
given to 15 students instead of the entire class. This
also shows that 15 students will be needing
specialized reading instruction.

STAGE 2 : ADMINISTRATION OF THE PHIL-IRI GRADED PASSAGES
(FILIPINO / ENGLISH)
■The Phil-IRI Graded Passages Pre-Tests have a total of four parallel
sets (SETS A to D) that the test-administrator can choose from.
■ Administer Graded Passages to learners with a raw score below 14
that may be conducted after class hours
■ The administration of Phil-IRI should begin with ORAL READING
TEST where a learner reads a selection aloud in order to assess word
recognition, reading fluency, and reading comprehension level

THE PHIL-IRI GRADED PASSAGES
(SETS A, B, C & 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.

(SETS A, B, C & D)
The Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test is administered in order
to:
• identify the student’s miscues in oral reading and each
word read incorrectly is noted and marked using the
Reading Miscue Inventory (Phil-IRI Form 3A and 3B:
Grade Level Passage Rating Sheet);

(SETS A, B, C & D)
• record the number of words that a student reads
per minute (speed); and
• find out how well a student understands the
passage read by having the child answer five to
eight questions of varying difficulty based on the
graded passage after it has been read
(comprehension).

■ SILENT READING COMPREHENSION may be used to
describe reading speed and comprehension.
■ The student’s reading speed is measured by
recording the time it takes the child to read each
passage completely.
■ Silent reading comprehension is measured by
asking the student to answer five to eight questions
of varying difficulty after a passage has been read.

■ LISTENING COMPREHENSION (optional) may be
used by having the student listen to the passages as they
are read by the test administrator and answer five to
eight questions of varying difficulty about each passage.
■ For all three types of individual assessments (oral
reading comprehension, listening comprehension and
silent reading comprehension), the aim is to find the
learner’s independent, instructional and frustration levels

MARKING AND SCORDING ORAL READING MISCUES

RECORDING SPEED AND RATE IN ORAL READING
1 ½ minutes
60 secs + 30 secs

COMPUTING STUDENT’S COMPREHENSION

COMPUTING READING PROFILE
When analyzing the result of Word Reading and Reading
Comprehension together, always pick-out / choose the lowest
level as the Reading Profile per passage. Remember the highest
level is INDEPENDENT, followed by INSTRUCTIONAL and the
lowest is FRUSTRATION.
For example:
1. Word Reading is Independent and Reading Comprehension is
Frustration then the Profile is Frustration.
2. Word Reading is Independent and Reading Comprehension is
Instructional then the Profile is Instructional.

THE LISTENING COMPREHENSION
AND SILENT READING TEST
After the administration of the
Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test, the teacher
may opt to administer a Listening
Comprehension for the nonreaders
and a Silent Reading Test to further
assess the student’s reading speed and
comprehension. These are, however,
optional activities.

CONDUCTING THE READING INTERVENTION
•Based on the reading difficulty of the student, a reading
intervention program is designed for him/her.
•Appendix H contains the Handbook on Reading
Intervention. It discusses some cases of different
problems in reading of some pupils and the
recommended intervention. It likewise looks into the
behavior of some readers, as recorded in Table 9
(word-by-word reading, reading on a monotonous tone,
disregards punctuation . . .) and tries to correct these
during the reading intervention.

STAGE 3
PROVISION OF READING INTERVENTION
■ Student is given individualized /
small group instruction

STAGE 4
ADMINISTRATION OF PHIL-IRI POSTTEST
■ After the reading remediation,
posttest shall be conducted

GUIDELINES ON CONDUCTING
ASSESSMENT
1.Recognize your role as an assessor. The purpose of assessment
is to gather information about the learner and describe his/her
performance and not to instruct.
2.Develop rapport. Be in a pleasant disposition when conducting
the assessments. Create an atmosphere that is conducive to
learners that will encourage them to perform at their best. Clarify
that this will not compromise their performance in class.

GUIDELINES ON CONDUCTING
ASSESSMENT
3. Clarify your purpose. Explain to the learners how the results will
be used. The primary reason for conducting these assessments
is to gather information so that the teacher may design/adjust
instruction.
4.Recognize diversity. Understand that cultural differences do not
imply cultural deficits.
5.Regard the learners with respect. The conduct of the
assessments must be in a non-threatening environment that
treats learners in a friendly, amicable manner.

GUIDELINES ON INTERPRETING
ASSESSMENT RESULTS
1.Assessment information describes performance.
Assessments are isolated events and may not be able to
describe the learner’s behavior in less-threatening
environments. Consider the results with other contextual
factors in mind.
2.Assessment information provides an estimate. The data
gathered must not be used to sum up the learner’s
performance but must provide useful information regarding
where to begin instruction.

GUIDELINES ON INTERPRETING
ASSESSMENT RESULTS
3. Refrain from stereotyping. Be cautious about drawing
conclusions based on the assessment tool. Know that the
results of this informal reading inventory must not be used in
isolation but rather in combination with other assessment
measures.
4.Assessment should inform instruction. The results of this
assessment must not be used as a means for making
decisions regarding promotion nor retention. The data
gathered must be used for designing instruction/intervention.

ETHICAL ISSUES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
The tests have been reviewed and written with the Filipino child in
mind. The themes and selections were drawn from an understanding of
the nature of the developing child in the Philippines. It embraces
learners’ diversity such that dialectal variations are not considered as
errors. The tests have been written so that terms and examples are not
offensive to students of different gender, race, religion, culture or
nationality.

ETHICAL ISSUES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
The child must be treated with respect at all times. It must take
place in a non-threatening environment with adequate conditions that
will encourage optimal learner performance. The administration of this
test must adhere to the DepEd Child Protection Policy4 (specifically
Section 3. L.3 that states the need to protect children from
psychological harm).
