A Psycholinguistic Look At The Informal Reading Inventory Part I: Looking At The Quality Of Readers' Miscues: A Rationale And An Easy Method, Laura Smith, Constance Weaver
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Instead of relying on machine-scored tests, many teachers wisely assess children's reading themselves, in an individualized session with each child.

While she does not deny the possibility that research focusing on the functions of the right hemisphere of the brain may have long term significance for reading instruction, she does indicate that at the present time "it would seem that no simple inferences for what and how schools should teach the various curricular areas can be drawn" from such research. Professor Chall stresses the importance of "environmental stimulation and experience" as fundamental determiners of …
