9. SRI-Scholastic Reading Inventory
The SRI measures independent reading. It is a measure of how well your child comprehends text-no pictures.
It is completed on the computer. Your child is reading silently to themselves and making a choice.
There is no teacher interaction nor does the teacher listen to them or choose the text.
As your child is learning to read, he/she will most likely receive a score of BR or Beginner Readers. BR is a range in level anywhere from Fountas and Pinnell levels A-J all depending where in the BR (0-189) they scored.  
The BR is a designation that almost all first grade readers receive. It simply means that they are reading anywhere in the range from level A-J.
