The Phil-IRI Listening Comprehension is administered when the student is identified as a non-reader. The purpose is
to find out how well a student understands the selection which will be read by the test administrator/teacher. Then
the test administrator reads the multiple choice questions and the student answers them orally.
The Phil-IRI Silent Reading Test maybe administered after the Oral Reading Test is conducted to further check the
student’s comprehension skill.

Policy Statement
The Bureau of Learning Resources (BLR) is responsible for uploading the Phil-IRI materials
thru the Learning Resource Management Development System (LRMDS) portal of the DepEd
website before the start of the school year in time for the opening of classes. These can be
downloaded by the teachers, school heads and education supervisors. To ensure that
teachers have the complete set of materials, the schools are advised to use the MOOE funds
for the reproduction and distribution. It is necessary that the region/division shall conduct an
orientation-training to teachers on the proper administration of the revised Phil-IRI which
shall be part of the Early Language Literacy and Numeracy (ELLN) Program of the Department
of Education.
All students will undergo the Phil-IRI Group Screening Test (GST) in Filipino, and/or English.
Students identified to be performing below level of expectation (those with a total Raw
Score below 14 in the Phil-IRI GST) should undergo further assessment through the
individually administered Phil-IRI Graded Passages.
