simka2 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I want to assess what level ds6 is presently reading at. The school we are looking at uses the DRA2 levels, but I can find a comparison chart. What I cannot find is a way to evaluate or benchmarks. Any thoughts?

threeofakind Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 With the DRA2 they have specific books to use which aren't on the market. If you have a comparison chart you can look up what level a book is and have your child read it? In level 3 and below the child just reads and shows they know beg./ending sounds, starting at level 4 they have the child retell the story, then I can't quite remember where they start having the child identify the author's purpose- maybe level 16-20? Anyways, reading a to z has a nice comparison for their books to dra and have benchmark books you can check the child with; however I don't know if they have a free trial but you do have to pay to access it. Not sure if this is what you meant, but hope you find what you are looking for! Good luck!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
