TPRI - Early Reading Assessment

tpri.org

The TPRI is a one-on-one instrument designed to be administered by the classroom teacher. The TPRI consists of both a Screening Section and an Inventory Section. With a short series of student-friendly tasks, the Screening Section allows a teacher to quickly identify students who may be at risk for reading difficulty. The Screening Section provides an easy way to identify students who are likely to experience success in reading so that time can be spent gathering more detailed information for those other students who may need instructional intervention. The Inventory Section engages the student with inviting tasks and entertaining stories, while giving the teacher an opportunity to gather more data to help match reading instruction with specific student needs. Once each student's needs have been identified, the Intervention Activities Guide gives the teacher effective instructional activities appropriate for each student, based on individual student needs.
