In response to the question about giving the DRA2 level M to first graders. Just an FYI, I attended a DRA2 training given by Joetta Beaver in November. She specifically stated that the DRA2 cut off is one grade level above the student's current grade. Maybe the answer is exactly what you were seeing with the difference between the oral comprehension and written. I gave the DRA2 to a Kindergartener would could decode at level M/28 but would not have been able to answer the comprehension questions so I stopped at level 16. Would it be possible to stop at level L/24?
