The National Center on Response to Intervention (NCRTI) has awarded Scholastic Reading Inventory™ (SRI) the highest possible rating for validity and reliability for screening and progress monitoring tools for students in K—12. NCRTI reviewed SRI as part of the organization’s first annual evaluation of progress monitoring tools.

The National Center on Response to Intervention is an evaluation group that is part of the American Institutes for Research. The organization’s mission is to provide technical assistance to states and districts and to build capacity of states to assist districts in implementing proven models for RTI and intervention services. NCRTI established a standard process to evaluate the scientific rigor of commercially available tools and interventions that can be used in an RTI context. The review process requires three separate technical review committees of national experts to evaluate the tools against evidence standards. Once tools are found to have met these standards, information is shared on the center's Web site.
