Summary:The Qualitative Reading Inventory-II (QRI-II) and the reading subtests of the Woodcock - Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery-Revised (WJ-R) were administered to 34 fourth-grade males reading at or below the 25th percentile on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients indicated that WJ-R reading scores and QRI-II oral instructional reading levels were moderately and significantly related. Fifty percent of children obtained identical instructional levels on the WJ-R and QRI-II, while 50% demonstrated differences of half a year or more. For the portion of students who obtained different WJ-R and QRI-II instructional levels, WJ-R levels exceeded QRI-II levels 92.1% of the time. Implications for placing poor readers in instructional level reading materials are discussed.
