Hello Readers!
I am hoping someone can help me with a question that keeps coming up in our
school regarding the DRA2. Do you ever test down? For example, in the fall a
child scored in the independent range on a level 28 but only instructional on
the level 30 so the teacher stopped the assessmen
First of all, everything I've read in this book affirms my belief about
teaching and test preparation. I do not feel that preparing for tests means
getting out sample released items and answering them. That is just busy
work. Besides, what good does that do for students? How is that teaching

Once again, I'm reminded of worksheets (such as some phonics or math
practice worksheets) and how we just tend to look through what they're
actually doing, forgetting to examine what they *are* doing (as compared to
what we wish they'd do or what we think they do at first glance).

Carol,
Yes, because you truly want to see if the child remains independent at that
level. We had a child enter gr 4 at a L38 and test down to a L28. It's amazing

There are multiple levels of text at this level, but I would also encourage the

AS with our lower reading level students we want to find out exactly what they
are capable of completing on their own. Our policy is to locate the
independent level of those students. So yes, we would test them down to a 28,
again, to make sure that is where they are. HERE is the plus to that

Hi.
Somewhere in the manual it talks about the fact that at level 28+ if the
student is independent in the oral reading fluency but instructional in the
written response/comprehension, stop.?? Dropping down will most likely provide
a similar profile - it's hard to tease out if the issue at 28
At our school we have just been RETRAINED in administering the DRA and after
the new testing many of the previous scores were found to be too high and kids
were placed further back. We then had consensus meetings across grade levels
to look at what really does constitute the scores. It was fou
