DRA

Developmental Reading Assessment

The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) is a standardized reading test used to determine a
student’s instructional level in reading. The students will read a selection (or selections) and then  make predictions, discuss characters, important events, author's message and retell what they have read. As the levels increase, so does the difficulty level for each selection.

In class we have been practicing for the DRA that will be administered sometime in the month of May.  Today students will be bringing home a sample of what the DRA will look like.  Please take a look at the skills that will be assessed.  You can also practice these questions while reading at home.
