I am a huge advocate for incorporating art in the classroom as much as
possible. I don't feel that students have enough exposure to the arts.
...Art is my passion..How can you bring art and literacy together??

Hi Angela -
The only thing I can say - from experience- is that most schools are this
confused when it comes to assessments! Don't let it get the best of you. I
currently teach 5th grade. We give the DRA2 once a year - at the end, for
students who are 'at grade level'. Those who fall below are
Our district adopted districtwide benchmark levels three years ago but until
that point, we were pretty much doing our own things. Our benchmark
expectations change as the school year progresses. We expect that our fourth
graders reach a level 40 to demonstrate proficiency and they may be teste

The fiction/non-fiction split was definitely seen as an advantage by
our teachers too! Particularly for some of our boys, this allowed a

Hi
I think that the first question you have to get an answer for, Angela, is
what is the purpose for taking running records? Are you finding appropriate
reading levels for instruction? If your school is using it in a formative
way, then it doesn't really matter what leveling system is being
ing below grade level.

Oh yeah, the DRA 2 kit (4-8) also has bridge level texts for students reading

Angela,
I did a few webinars with Pearson for DRA2 training. It worked great for
me. I was able to ask questions as we went along. They won't have any
until July, but maybe you could take a couple of them and have your
questions answered as I did. Here's a link:
