Yes it takes a long time.....look at Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment.

The plan is that all students will get DIBELS as a screener, but only 6th graders (and maybe 7th graders) will get DRA as a diagnostic after the initial screening. I teach 8th grade, and asked about the DRA as a diagnostic in 8th grade. The response was the DRA takes too much time to give to everyone who might need it, and since we're just starting RTI, we're going to start small. I would like to give my students the DRA, which I trust more than DIBELS. Do you know if there's a fee per student for DRA? Does it really take a long time to give the DRA? Is it possible for students to take the DRA on line? If that's possible, my school might have a pot of money available for that. If you'd like, you can e-mail me off list. <[email protected]> Jan _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
