Why does SRI work?

Authentic text passagesFiction, non-fiction, high interest low

readability passagesRequire students to use inference, draw

conclusions, demonstrate knowledge of content vocabulary, and higher order

thinking skills

Computer Adaptive TechnologyTest adapts to student responses. Test

automatically steps up or down according to performance.

Adaptive technology only requires student to do as many questions as needed to calculate

accurate Lexile.Test bank of 3000 questions ensures that no

two tests are identical.
