Hi Karen,
In the beginning of the year, my school groups children based on their DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) levels. We assess all our children right in the beginning of the year, when we are setting up reader's workshop. We use the DRA as our assessment tool because of the running record and the comprehension portions. However, the running record portion is what we use the most, we analyze each error with MSV (meaning, structure, and visual) cues that the child is using or lacking and then place them in groups based on what strategies they need work. ~Brooke ____________________________________________________ Hello Everyone, I am preparing for the upcoming school year. I was wondering, in the beginning of the year how do you place students into reading groups? Do you look at the previous years? test scores? Or do you just place them based on teacher observation?
