KEY BENEFIT: The Adolescent Literacy Inventory is an assessment and instructional tool for literacy coaches, specialists, diagnosticians, teachers, and staff developers.

 KEY TOPICS: Focusing specifically on adolescent literacy and offering multiple assessment options, this revolutionary new assessment tool allows teachers to learn more than ever before about their students’ reading and writing abilities. The ALI is comprised of assessment passages taken from actual textbooks for grades 6-12 and offers an interactive assessment option. The “cloze-maze passages” approach to placement is more accurate than other assessment tools because students must not only pronounce content vocabulary, but also read and understand the words in context.

MARKET: For college courses in Literacy Diagnosis and Correction, Literacy Practicum, or Adolescent/Content Area Literacy
