Enclosure 3
General Directions for the Administration of Phil-IRI for Junior High School
A. The Four Stages
There are four stages in the administration of the Phil-IRI namely:
Stage 1: Initial Screening Using the Phil-IRI Group Screening Test
Stage 2: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages/Individualized
Assessment (Pretest)
Stage 3: Provision of Specialized Instruction/Intervention
Stage 4: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages/Individualized
Assessment (Posttest)
STAGE 1: Initial Screening Using the Phil-IRI Group Screening Test
For SY 2024-2025, the Phil-IRI for JHS Group Screening Test (GST) in English
and Filipino shall be administered to all Grade 7 to 10 learners in November to
December, and at the first month of the school year in the succeeding school years.
It is a 40-item multiple choice test that the test takers must accomplish within 60
minutes. This shall be administered during class time. Each learner must have
completed 2 tests (one (1) in English; one (1) in Filipino).
Upon completion of the administration of the GST, the Class Reading Reports
are submitted to the School Head. These contain a summary of the learners who
performed equal or above and below the cut-off score. Refer to Form 1A: Talaan ng
Pangkatang Pagtatasa ng Klase (PPK) sa Phil-IRI for Filipino or Form 1B: Class
Reading Report (CRR) for English.
The school head/school reading coordinator shall accomplish Form 2 – School
Reading Profile. Learners who garner a Raw Score that is equal to or greater than
28 need not undergo further testing. The first stage is done for these learners.
STAGE 2: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages (Pretest)
Learners who garner a Raw Score that is lower than 28 need to undergo
further assessment, as this may be an indication that the learner is experiencing
difficulty reading at-level text. It is thus necessary to conduct individualized
assessment in order to further describe the learner’s reading performance.
The learners will be assessed using the Phil-IRI Graded Passages in Filipino
and in English. Note that it is possible for a learner to undergo the Phil-IRI Graded
Passages in one or both languages.

Step 1: Determine the Starting Point
The first passage that the learner should be asked to read aloud must
depend on his/her raw score in the GST.
a. If the learner’s raw score in the GST is 0-15, he/she must be given a
passage that is 3 levels below his grade level.
b. If the learner’s raw score in the GST is 16-27, he/she must be given a
passage that is 2 levels below his grade level.
To illustrate, if Sandro, a 7th grader, garnered a Raw Score of 14/40 in the
English GST, the first selection that he must be asked to read should be at 4th
grade level. Once the first selection to be read has been identified, the test
administrator is ready for Step 2.
Step 2: Compute Scores in Word Reading and Comprehension
For each passage, compute scores in Word Reading and Comprehension to
identify learner’s Reading Levels (see pages 21-29 for the procedures for computing
the Word Reading and Comprehension scores). Using these graded passages, the test
administrator must find the learner’s independent, instructional and frustration
levels. Awareness of a learner’s reading levels can help the teacher identify materials
that are suitable for developing the learner’s reading skills.

Analysis and Interpretation of Word Reading and Comprehension Level
The Phil-IRI reading test uses predetermined set of criteria in identifying the reading
level of each learner for each passage. These criteria include the percentage of word
recognition accuracy and the percentage of correct answers to comprehension
questions (adapted from Johnson, Kress and Pikulski, 1987). Table 7 shows these
criteria.

Oral Reading Level Word Reading Score Comprehension Score
(in %) (in %)
Independent 97-100 % 80-100%
Instructional 90-96% 59-79%
Frustration 89% and below 58% and below

To illustrate, let us look at the performance of Sandro who is in Grade 7 with
Grade 4 as starting point. His word reading and comprehension scores are as
follows:
Word Reading Score: 65 out of 67 words (2 miscues) = 97.01% (Independent)
Comprehension Score: 5 out of 6 = 83% (Independent)
Total time in Reading the Text: 50 seconds
Reading Rate: 80 words per minute
Sandro’s Oral Reading Profile at starting point is Independent.
Reading speed = No. of words read X 60
Reading time in seconds
No. of words in the passage: 67
No. of minutes it took Sandro to read it: 50 seconds
67 words read /50 seconds = 1.34 x 60 = 80 words per minute
Reading rate: 80 words per minute

To illustrate, if Sandro’s reading level after administering the 4th grade passage
is independent or instructional, give him another graded passage that is one grade
level higher. If his reading level is frustration, give him a graded passage that is one
grade level lower. Continue giving a graded passage until his independent,
instructional and frustration levels are determined.

After administering each graded passage, fill-out Form 3 (attached in the
graded passage), Form 4 and Form 5 (Pretest).
Then proceed to stage 3.
STAGE 3: Provision of Specialized Instruction/Reading Intervention
Once all the data describing the learner’s reading performance has been
gathered, the teacher may use this information to design an intervention program
(i.e. remedial reading program) or adjust classroom instruction.
STAGE 4: Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded Passages (Posttest)
After receiving a specialized instruction, the learners will be re-assessed using
the Phil-IRI Posttest for the grade level two (2) months before the end of school year.
Using the graded passages, the test administrator must again identify the learner’s
independent, instructional and frustration levels. The posttest results may be
compared with the pretest results. Note that only those learners who took the pretest
(individualized assessment) will be given the posttest.

To illustrate, if Sandro’s reading level after administering the 7th grade
passage is independent or instructional, give him another graded passage that is one
grade level higher. If his reading level is frustration, give him a graded passage that
is one grade level lower. Continue giving a graded passage until his independent,
instructional and frustration levels are determined.
