The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) is one of the Department of Education’s main tools for assessing learners’ reading skills. The Every Child A Reader Program (ECARP) helps teachers identify learners’ strengths and difficulties in reading. It uses oral reading, silent reading, listening comprehension, and group screening assessments to measure reading performance. Teachers also conduct this assessment at the beginning and end of every school year as part of their required tasks. On this page, you can download the complete Phil-IRI guide, assessment materials, resource packages, and our collection of automated forms.
Teachers, reading coordinators, and school leaders can use this complete Phil-IRI package to support reading assessment and intervention efforts. It includes the Phil-IRI Manual, Group Screening Tests (GST), graded passages, assessment forms, answer sheets, and reading intervention materials. These resources help schools administer pretests and posttests, monitor learners’ reading progress, and develop appropriate intervention programs based on assessment results.
Objectives of the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory
The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (Phil-IRI) helps teachers assess learners’ reading skills and identify their specific needs. Through this assessment, teachers can plan and deliver appropriate reading interventions and classroom strategies. In addition, Phil-IRI supports the Department of Education’s efforts to improve literacy among Filipino learners by promoting data-informed reading instruction.
Measure Reading Performance
Phil-IRI measures learners’ reading skills through oral reading, silent reading, and listening comprehension activities. These assessments help teachers determine a learner’s word recognition, reading fluency, comprehension, and overall reading ability. In turn, the results provide teachers with valuable insights into each learner’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Identify Reading Levels
One of the main goals of Phil-IRI is to identify a learner’s reading level—whether Independent, Instructional, or Frustration. By determining these levels, teachers can select reading materials that match each learner’s current skills. As a result, they can provide instruction that is appropriate, meaningful, and effective.
Guide Reading Interventions
The assessment results help teachers design targeted reading interventions for struggling readers. By identifying specific reading difficulties, schools can implement individualized or small-group remediation programs that address learners’ needs and improve their reading skills.
Monitor Learner Progress
Teachers administer the Phil-IRI as both a pretest and a posttest to monitor learners’ reading progress throughout the school year. By comparing the results, they can determine the effectiveness of the reading interventions and identify improvements in learners’ reading skills.
