My district uses the DRA and the benchmark assessment from our reading series. 
We give the DRA in the fall and spring to everyone. If a child is below grade 
level we also give them the DRA in January.

In North Kansas City School District we use AimsWEB and Fountus  Pinnell.
I do not like Aimsweb for progress monitoring however. When you progress
monitor with a Maze test, it often does not match what the intervention is.
I do not like that.

 When you say 'essential skills' that were taught over the specific period

 show a student needs? That's what's considered Progress Monitoring. I try
 to tailor the PM to the intervention. Sometimes the PM depends on the grade

 are good PM's.  I hope this makes sense.

 In my district we assess three times per year and call it Benchmark
 Testing. (Not sure that everyone actually uses the same definition.) The
 testing is to assess strengths and primarily weaknesses of our students so
 that we can reteach and provide tutoring where necessary. We are supposed
 to be testing primarily over the essential skills that were taught for that
 specific period of time.
 I think I am probably asking an impossible question to most of you because
 I am from Texas, and we are one of the five states that have not accepted
 the Common Core Standards for ELAR. I often refer to the Common Core
 Standards and our standards in Texas ARE very similar so think we could
 certainly use the same assessment!

Hi Marsha 

I'm in California and am looking for the same type of information for kinder 
and grade one. 

Our district uses curriculum associates tool for grades 2-8. We give it 4 times 
a year. It is directly aligned with CA standards and has a math and Ela 
component. 

A friend of mine said they use 
PALS in VA for the younger grades. 

Some  districts around here are using DRA.  
I'll email more info regarding CA districts as I find it. 

Do you know what type of tools are used for K-1 in your area?
