I just started watching the DRA2 for K-3 training DVD, which our school just
started using this year. Although I teach 4th, I thought it would be beneficial
to know what is going on in the younger grades, and as a possible diagnostic
tool for struggling readers.
Now I'm going to ask a question that reveals how clueless I am, is there a
DRA2 for upper grades? Assessment is the one area I feel weakest on now that I
am teaching fourth. I felt so much better about assessing my little seconds,
but need some guidance with these older kiddos.
One thing to consider if you offer suggestions, it took five years for them
to get this, after my begging and cajoling for something to use for consistency
across the grades. Whatever I use, it has to be FREE as I am at this tiny
school with no budget (and my DH is currently unemployed so I can't afford to
pay for anything out of pocket).
Thanks.
