That's interesting you say that. My county in Colorado found a strong correlation between how our kiddos tested on our state test and how they tested on the DRA2 in grade 3. (unlike the lack of a correlation they found with Dibles)

Linker <[email protected]> Sandy, We are actually phasing out DRAs for the same reasons that you mentioned plus the fact that there isn't a correlation between the DRA levels for students when they leave 2nd grade and when they take our state's standardized test in 3rd grade. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
