Start with the Level 7 word lists to assess automatic word recognition. If a student struggles, move down to Level 6. Look for patterns in miscues - are they struggling with multisyllabic words or specific phonetic patterns? Remember to record both correct pronunciations and errors.

Use the QRI-7 timed word lists to assess automaticity. Students should recognize grade-level words within 1 second. Make note of words that take longer - these may indicate vocabulary gaps that need addressing in our AIS sessions.

Select grade-level narrative passages from the QRI-7. Have students read both silently and aloud. Monitor their reading rate, accuracy, and prosody. Use the provided comprehension questions to assess both explicit and implicit understanding. Target score: 90% accuracy.

Use content-area expository passages to assess academic reading skills. These passages are particularly important for 7th graders as they encounter more textbook reading. Pay special attention to how students handle academic vocabulary and text features.

During passage reading, implement think-aloud protocols to assess metacognitive strategies. Have students verbalize their thinking process, including prediction, questioning, and summarizing. This helps identify areas where comprehension breaks down.

Before reading passages, use the QRI-7 concept questions to assess background knowledge. This helps determine whether comprehension issues stem from reading skills or lack of prior knowledge. Document responses to guide future instruction.

Utilize the vocabulary assessment components to identify gaps in academic and content-specific vocabulary. Pay special attention to Tier 2 words that appear frequently across content areas. Create word banks for targeted instruction.

Calculate words correct per minute (WCPM) using grade-level passages. Target range for 7th grade: 150-160 WCPM. Note that this is just one component of fluency - prosody and accuracy are equally important!

Record and analyze reading miscues using the QRI-7 coding system. Look for patterns: Are errors meaning-changing? Do students self-correct? This information is crucial for planning targeted interventions.

Create a progress monitoring schedule using QRI-7 assessments. I recommend bi-weekly checks with parallel passages to track improvement. Use the provided recording forms to document changes in reading levels and specific skill areas.

Use the QRI-7 summary forms to track student progress across all assessment areas. This helps identify patterns of growth and areas that need continued support. Share this data during parent conferences and team meetings.
