DRA is a little more challenging than a-z at least for 4th
graders.

Some N books have themes that a first grader would not have any schema for,
Just my opinion.

Our district put end of the year ceilings on DRA that were set low (16
grade 1, 28 grade 2) in an effort to get teachers to stop trying to up the
levels and look deeply at comprehension and fluency. This year, we raised
the levels they can assess a child up to, but they need to first try the

In our district the first grade DRA ceiling is 24 for the beginning of the
year and 28 at the end of the year.

We are looking at establishing those ceilings k-5 for the coming year, but
are still very early in the discussions.

I would like to know if any one teaching first puts a ceiling on DRA
testing. That is to stop testing after certain level. All of our team
feel
that after level n there are so many more conventions, deeper strategies, and
reflections that could be made even when kids pass this level.

In years of working with this assessment, I can say there was a time when
our kinders were not assessed with DRA until May of their first year. Since
those early levels are far more about book handling skills and concepts of
print, many --including myself--felt this was a mistake. The testing wa
By ceiling, do you mean that you do not test beyond this level with kinders?

Page,
Our district and state say level 2 by January and level 3 by May. I also
teach K and have found that about half my class is at goal, several are
still at level 2 and a couple in the A, 1 range. I think it's hard because
some children are not developmentally ready to learn to read yet and othe
Great question. Our district says 10, which I think is nuts. As a former
first grade teacher, I would have to say if children were really firm at
level 6 or higher, we would be on our way!

I should also add that for kindergarten, below 2 is considered "substantially

Our district benchmark is 3 for the end of k. Not sure it's appropriate but
that's what it is.

In our kindergarten classes, DRA level 2 is the expected level for end
of the year. I have encouraged our kindergarten teachers to consider
testing beyond level 2 for students who are successful at level 2 but so
far I haven't had any luck convincing them. Level 3 DRA is where there

I have a question that may have been answered before, but to those of you
who use the DRA as a reading assessment, I would like to know what you think

an appropriate level for kindergartners to have at the end of the year.
