One more question...does this "no response" mean NOONE is on line with DRA?
Is it very new? And TC (Dah) Teachers College does sound a bit familiar.
Thank you for clarification.

We have purchased the package to use the online assessment program with DRA2,
but we have not started using it yet. Our first "job" will be to enter all
student scores from last May. We realize that if we asked individual teachers
to enter the scores we might get it done quicker, but decided our
Our district is using the DRA2. A word of caution...the middle level went
through each student booklet and teacher guides. THERE ARE MISTAKES that
will affect the fluency scores. (student booklets and teacher booklets have
wording differences.) We had to send out a memo regarding these errors.

Michele,
The DRA2 is available in a 4-8 kit. It goes up to level 80 (8th grade).
Scribing can be done for the prediction up to level 38, then students are
supposed to do the writing independently. It takes a long time - I'm
surprised that a classroom teacher would have enough time to do that for

This is a discussion we have gone round and round with in our district. The

Hello All,
First, I would like to thank all of you! I have learned so much by reading
your postings over the last few months. I have not participated much, as I
feel like I have so much to learn first. However, I have some questions and
I figured this was the perfect place to go!

Carolyn,
I have taken the Tucker signing course but I really haven't used it in my
classroom. Just not enough time in the day. Part of the problem was I took
the course in the middle of the year and really didn't have the time to spend
teaching the initial letter sounds. I later went to an i

Kelly,
We don't have enough time! Our principal won't even get subs so that we can
test. We have to be "creative" when we get the time to test the fluency.
Then, once I get everyone in a book, we do the independent work all at one
time, like a testing session. I'm going to feel sorry for
