Phil-IRI Forms: Group Screening Test, Graded Passages and Automated Forms

The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) uses a set of forms to record how learners read in Filipino and English. This page explains each form, from the Group Screening Test (GST) records to the graded passage rating sheets and the individual summary record. It also offers a free set of Excel automated forms that compute scores and consolidate results for you.

Forms for the Group Screening Test

Phil-IRI Form 1A (Filipino GST)

Form 1A, Talaan ng Pangkatang Pagtatasa ng Klase (class group assessment record), is used for the GST in Filipino. Filling it out helps the teacher:

• identify the types of questions (literal, inferential, or critical) each child can answer;
• classify the learners who should take the individual Phil-IRI tests; and
• capture the reading performance of the whole class, so the teacher can plan suitable classroom instruction.

The form contains the class list, each learner’s itemized scores by question type, and the total score.

Phil-IRI Form 1B (English GST)

Form 1B, the Summary of the Phil-IRI Group Screening Test Class Reading Record (CRR), has the same content and objectives as Form 1A. It is used for the GST in English.

Phil-IRI Form 2 (School Reading Profile)

Form 2, Talaan ng Paaralan sa Pagbabasa (school reading record), summarizes the school’s performance in the GST. It shows the school’s reading profile: the number of learners reading at their level (scores of 14 and above out of 20 items) and those who need further Phil-IRI testing (scores below 14).

Forms for the graded passages

Phil-IRI Form 3A and Form 3B (Grade Level Passage Rating Sheet)

Form 3A, Markahang Papel ng Panggradong Lebel na Teksto, is the Filipino version, and Form 3B, the Grade Level Passage Rating Sheet, is the English version. Each is a rating sheet that includes the passage to be read, either orally or silently by the learner, or orally by the teacher. On this form the teacher:

• records the time the learner spent reading the passage;
• marks and summarizes the learner’s miscues (reading errors); and
• records the learner’s answers to the comprehension questions.

The form gives the learner’s reading speed and rate, and the reading level for the passage in both word reading and comprehension.

Phil-IRI Form 4 (Individual Summary Record)

Form 4, Talaan ng Indibidwal na Pagbabasa (individual reading record), summarizes each learner’s performance and level in word reading and comprehension across all the Phil-IRI tests given. It also notes the oral reading behaviors the learner showed.

Phil-IRI automated forms (Excel)

The automated forms are Excel sheets that fill in, compute, and consolidate Phil-IRI results as you encode data.

One rule applies to every sheet: when you copy and paste data, always use Paste Values so the formulas keep working.

Form 1B: GST Class Reading Record (English)

1. In cell C5, choose the grade level from the dropdown list. Make sure you pick the correct grade level.
2. Encode the section, teacher, school, screening test level, and date. The teacher’s name automatically appears under Prepared and under Name of Teacher on the second page.
3. Encode the learners’ names. If you copy and paste, use Paste Values.
4. Gender fills in automatically as names are encoded. Encode the boys’ names in the upper list and the girls’ names in the lower list.
5. In the second column, choose a check mark from the dropdown if the learner took the screening test, or an X if not. You can copy and paste this to all learners.
6. Record the number of correct literal, inferential, and critical answers using the dropdowns. For example, if a learner got 3 of 5 literal questions right, record 3/5 under Literal.
7. Choose each learner’s total correct answers (out of 20) from the dropdown. The sheet then checks the matching column (below 14, or 14 and above). For scores below 14, it also shows the starting graded passage.
8. The total number of learners in each column appears at the bottom of each list.
9. The second page automatically consolidates the enrolment and the number of learners scoring below 14 and 14 and above.

GST<14 sheet

This sheet automatically gathers the learners who scored below 14.

1. Choose the grade level from the dropdown list.
2. Encode the section, teacher, school, screening test level, and date. The teacher’s name fills in automatically on the form.
3. The second page automatically consolidates the number of passages to be read.

Consolidation sheets

• Chairman Conso Sheet: combines all classes in a grade level: learners scoring below 14 and 14 and above, the number of passages to be read, and each class’s enrolment. Choose the grade level from the dropdown and encode the school name.
• School Conso Sheet: combines all grade levels in the school, with the same data per grade level.
• District Conso Sheet: combines all schools in the district, with the same data per school.

Class Reading Profile on Grade Level Passages

This sheet is for learners who did not pass the GST.

1. The sheet automatically lists those learners with their name, gender, and starting grade level passage.
2. Encode the set of passage and the number of words in the passage.
3. Encode the number of miscues. The sheet computes the percentage and shows the word recognition level.
4. Encode the number of seconds. The sheet computes words per minute (WPM) and the speed level.
5. Encode the number of comprehension items and the score. The sheet computes the percentage and shows the comprehension level and the reading profile.
6. Use the other columns to record results for other passages the learner reads.

CRP Conso Sheet

The Class Reading Profile Conso sheet consolidates the class reading profiles and automatically shows each learner’s reading profile in three levels.
