Description¶
The Independent Reading Level Assessment (IRLA) is a reading assessment framework used as a potential screening tool within Response to Intervention.
Components¶
- Independent Reading Level Assessment (IRLA) framework: The Independent Reading Level Assessment (IRLA) framework is a reading assessment evaluated in this study as "one potential new screening tool" within the Response to Intervention (RTI) framework. The study collects concurrent validity evidence for it against a state assessment, with validity evidence disaggregated across grade, program, and race/ethnicity. The available text does not describe the assessment's internal structure or administration. (Beth Tarasawa et al. (2016))
