Kate, We had the same experience happen here. We did our training in November to prepare teachers for using the DRA2 in January. We mentioned that fluency would be tested - that was the area that brought many students down. We did have several students drop levels. Our DRA levels are reported on our report card as well, so we sent a generic letter home explaining that the new assessment. The positive outcome was teachers began teaching more non-fiction to prepare children for the level 16 f & nf and did more fluency work in their rooms. Kelly AB/CT
I have a question for you. Have any of you seen a > variance in your students' levels from the DRA kit to the DRA2 kit? > _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
