- Description:
- Improving reading scores and levels for students with mild disabilities is and has been a major concern for special educators. Researchers have noted that informal reading inventories are the evaluation instruments that reveal first hand and specific information about students� reading habits. The present study utilized The Analytical Reading Inventory and the Metacomprehension Strategy Index to assess seven students with learning disabilities and one behavioral disordered student in answering four research questions. The research questions are: (1) How effective are informal reading inventories in assisting students with mild disabilities to excel? (2) What specific information do they reveal? (3) How important is metacomprehension to the success of students with mild disabilities in improving their reading levels? (4) How will the information help me in my instruction of reading? The answers and results are presented.
