Purpose of the Screening

• Provides a quick way to rule out individuals who
  are highly likely to have no risk characteristics
  so that resources can be focused on further
  evaluation of those at risk.
• Allows teachers to quickly gather information on
  reading concepts students are developing and
  areas where further attention may be needed for
  student progress.

Purpose of the Inventory

• The inventory section provides more data to help
  match reading instruction with specific student
  needs.
• The inventory should be administered with all
  students whose performance on the screening
  section indicates important reading concepts are
  still developing.
• The inventory may be administered with all
  students regardless of their performance on the
  screening section.
