This technical report describes the conceptual foundation and measurement properties of the Reading Inventory and Scholastic Evaluation ( RISE ). The RISE is a 6‐subtest, Web‐administered reading skills components battery. The theoretical and empirical foundations of each subtest in the battery are reviewed, as well as item designs. The results included in this report feature a vertical extension of the RISE to span Grades 5–10, psychometric analysis of parallel forms of each subtest, results of item response theory ( IRT ) scaling studies for each of the subtests across the entire grade span, and evaluation of differential item functioning ( DIF ) for gender and race/ethnicity.
