Does anyone know the reasoning behind the Lucy Calkins' fiction ONLY reading
level assessments? Why doesn't she include informational text
Sure. So she can sell informational assessment separately to make money. Its
a separate kit.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind the Lucy Calkins' fiction ONLY reading
level assessments? Why doesn't she include informational text as well to
provide a balance? Thanks!

Lauren, I used the Qualitative Reading Inventory, but it is another version of
an IRA. I did like that there were explicit and implicit questions, as well as
fiction and nonfiction passages. I always felt I gained helpful information as
far as comprehension skills go. But the good ole Gates
Our district is now using the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment Kits.
These kits are

I have used both the DRA and the F&P kits. The DRA for intermediate grades
seems to grade comprehension on writing which I don't agree with. THere are
also only 2 books for each level which is not enough if you have to

Actually...
My committee looked at the Fountas and Pinnell kit, Rigby, DRA and DAR kits
this summer. Fountas and Pinnell was the cheapest of all...assuming you want
to buy only the k-2 kit or the 3-5 kit. A classroom teacher would only need
one or the other.

As for the DRA, we have found that there are LOTS of gray areas. Also, the
assessment can take quite awhile to administer. We do the test 3 times a
year and I have 40+ students. I feel like I lose a good bit of
instructional time on, once again, assessing. However, I would be open to
another op
I agree with the Fountas and Pinnell assessment kits. A committee here in my
district looked at them over the summer. Not only do they have both a
fiction and nonfiction passage for each guided reading level, there are many
other
assessment options included besides the running record passa
You might want to consider Fountas and Pinnell's new assessment, like the
DRA in a lot of ways.

I live in the middle east and teach in Kuwait at an american school. We have
a reading resource teacher for each grade 2-5 and two resource teachers for
grade 1. We have been looking to get one reading assessment for all of the
resource teachers.
We are focusing on the Riby benchmark or the DRA pri
