IRI measures: grade level reading, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, oral reading accuracy

The Informal Reading Inventory is an on-going assessment, and should be completed several
times throughout the child's schooling. If a child is struggling, the inventory should be done
more often in order to have an accurate picture of the child's progress.
Phoneme matching is the ability to identify words that begin with the same sound.
