I am looking for a new assessment tool to use in the fifth grade. My
school uses a quick, multiple choice test which I have found to be
very inaccurate. Our literacy leader told us that we could use other
assessments to get a better idea of what level the child is on. I've

I use the Bader Reading and Language Inventory. It provides graded reading
passages. The assessment checks for reading comp: explicit, retell, and
inferrence. Of course you can do a running record as well as a fluency check.

Lisa, I was trained years ago on the QRI and the school district I'm in now
has just started to request that their classroom teachers use it for 4th
grade and up because the DRA takes too long past level 44. I like the newest

As far as I can tell for a student with a 504 plan for ADHD the only thing
necessary is for the parent to say the student has ADHD and for the teachers to
agree that's probably true. (Although the second part seems not to be always

-- Original message -
In our district there must be a doctors evaluation to be allowed to
have a 504 for ADHD. It can not just be because the parents and
teacher say so, it must be diagnosed.
