I first became acquainted with Silvaroli's "Classroom Reading Inventory" while pursuing studies at the now named Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. My original book was the third edition. The 8th Edition is also well designed and this instrument should be easily and readily mastered by even the most novice of teachers. Identifying deficiencies in our student's reading skills through this tool allows us to provide a plan to remediate them. A must in all Teacher's Personal Libraries.
