The CRI involves students reading a passage or story, followed by questions to assess their ability to comprehend, analyze, and interpret the narrative. It is used to gauge a student’s ability to understand the structure of a narrative, their ability to make inferences, and how well they can summarize key events or themes. This is on top of providing an oral reading accuracy and silent reading comprehension score.

Emery demonstrates a solid understanding of print concepts, sight words, and context clues to support her reading. She correctly tracks from left to right, recognizes familiar words, and applies beginning sounds and word parts to decode unfamiliar words. However, she made errors with verb tense (come came, have  had) and pronunciation (jump-ped  jumped), indicating a need for additional instruction in verb tenses and phonetic patterns. Emery’s accuracy rate of 90% (only 3 errors) suggests that this text is at an adequate level for her.
