Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)
Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI)If districts and schools elect to use an approved-vendor diagnostic, they will not be able to rely upon the
department for translation of the results into
on track
and
not on track
designations. Rather, the districts and
schools should consult with the vendor and use the department’s definitions of
on track
and
not on track
to
translate the results of the test.
If a test appears on both the Ohio Department of Education’s approved list for the Third Grade Reading
Guarantee and the multiple measures of student growth, it can fulfill both purposes.
