Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST)

For SY 2018-2019, the Phil-IRI Group Screening

Test (GST) in Filipino must be administered to Grade 3
to 6 students while the GST in English must be
administered to the Grade 4 to 6 students on the first
month of the school year.
It is a 20-item multiple choice test that the test
takers must accomplish within 30 minutes. This should
be administered during class time. By the end of July,
the learner must have completed 2 tests (1 in English;
1 in Filipino).
STAGE 1
 Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST)

Upon completion of the administration of the GST, the

Class Reading Reports are submitted to the Principal. These
contain a summary of the students who performed equal or
above and below the cut-off score.
Refer to Appendix B1, Form 1A: Talaan ng Pangkatang
Pagtatasa ng Klase (PPK) sa Phil-IRI for Filipino or Appendix
B2, Form 1B: Class Reading Report (CRR) for English.
Students who garner a Raw Score that is equal to or
greater than 14 (75%) need not undergo further testing. The
first stage is done for these students.

However, students who garner a Raw Score that is

lower than 14 (74%) need to undergo further assessment, as
this may be an indication that the student is experiencing
difficulty reading at-level text.

It is thus necessary to conduct individualized

assessment in order to further describe the child’s reading
performance. The learners will be assessed using the PhilIRI
Graded Passages.

STAGE 1
 Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST)

If a student garners a score of 13 and below in the

Filipino GST, s/he will be given the Filipino Graded
Passages Pre-Test. If the student garners a score of 13 or
below in the English GST, s/he will be given the English
Graded Passages Pre-Test.

Note that it is possible for a student to undergo the

Phil-IRI Graded Passages in one or both languages.

STAGE 1
 Administration of the Phil-IRI Graded
Passages (Pre-Test)

The Phil-IRI Graded Passages Pre-Tests

have a total of four parallel sets (SETS A to

STAGE 2
 PROVISIONS OF THE SPECIALIZED
INSTRUCTION/ READING INTERVENTION

Once all the data describing the child’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 3
Administration of the Phil-IRI
Graded Passages (Posttest)

After receiving specialized instruction, the students

will be re-assessed using the Phil-IRI Posttest Forms.
The Phil-IRI Posttests have a total of 4 parallel sets
(SETS A-D) that the test administrator can choose
from. Using these graded passages, the test
administrator must again identify the student’s
independent, instructional and frustration levels. The
posttest results may be compared with the pre-test
results.
