[LM_NET] TAR: reading assessments

[Carol Wirwa <wirwa@CHARTER.NET>]

I received an email this week from someone in a Tennessee school who is seeking an 
assessment tool to measure reading levels/progression. They would like to assess 
high school students twice a year to determine if the reading strategies being used 
are having positive results. They want the assessment to report reading levels in 
Lexile format. The only assessment tool they have found so far is the Scholastic 
Reading Inventory.

This person has 2 questions:
1. Is there anyone using the Scholastic Reading Assessment who she could contact 
for further questions?
2. Are there any other such assessments being used by a school?

Thank you!
