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

I think that possibly the thinking may be that at these early levels the
text is entirely supported by the pictures and once names and such are
planted, many kids could effectively 'retell' without have effectively read.

Our decision for 20 is based in part on expectations for reading recovery
students discontinuing in the spring. 20 is certainly advanced.
I would also like to see more nonfiction. As coaches, we are recommending
that children be required to pass both the fiction and nonfiction at levels
in manilla
folders in our DRA2 boxes.
Just an idea. :)

Hello,
On page 40 of the teacher guide for the DRA2, it states that the cutoff for
grade one is levels 16-18. I have advised teachers to stop there even if
students can go further. My second grade teachers will stop at level 28 and so
on. We need to go deeper at these levels. It is my

I just took a DRA II training yesterday afternoon. The kits are broken up
in K-3 which goes up to level 40 and the other kit 4-8.
I'm not sure if the new DRA2 has levels 40-60, but the old one did. 40 is
fourth grade, 50-fifth grade, etc.

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.
Let me clarify this a bit. With the first DRA kit, we have found that when
teachers rank their students as proficient, advanced, basic or below basic
as required by the district, the results are not lining up with other
measures. I am no fan of standardized testing, but when we look at multiple
Thank you all so much for your posts on the DRA ceilings ... it has been very

Although we are just adopting this for use next fall, our pilot showed
exactly the same trend. I think it measures comprehension more accurately
