Thank you all so much for your posts on the DRA "ceilings" ... it has been very insightful for me. I have a question for you. Have any of you seen a variance in your students' levels from the DRA kit to the DRA2 kit? We used the old kit for the first semester and got trained on the new kit after Christmas. I was out on maternity leave, so I only tested my students with the new kit at the end of the year. I am freaking out a bit because some are scoring 2-3 levels lower than what they came in at (with the old kit). Is this normal? Some are even testing lower than that ... the fluency component is killing them. Any input (or reassurance!) you have would be appreciated.
