Developmental Reading Assessments-DRA

As the school year comes to a close, we have begun our end of the year assessments with each child.  Throughout the year, we are continually monitoring and assessing your child's academic skills.  One specific assessment that we use is the Developmental Reading Assessment, also known as the DRA.  In our district, the DRA is administered to all elementary students twice a year; Fall and Spring.  As teachers, the DRA is just one tool that we use to see the overall reading development of our students in the areas of reading fluency and accuracy, making predictions using text features, retelling and interpreting the texts.  If you would like to know how your child did on this particular assessment, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to visit with you about your child's end of the year reading skills.
