The QRI modified? Would you elaborate, please?
----- Original Message ---- From: Kuenzl-Stenerson Kay <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, May 4, 2010 8:49:26 AM Subject: [MOSAIC] DRA We use the QRI modified to use as a paper and pencil test for screening. Then I test students with the DRA. It takes about an hour per student to give the DRA. You can however start a student with the oral part then let them read the silent part and answer the questions on their own and start another student. We are also using the Fountas & Pinnell for Title One students. I like the information that I get from the DRA but it can be time consuming. It depends on how many students you will have to test. I use it for 8th grade as well as 6 and 7, usually the students I am testing are two or more years below grade level. Kay Kuenzl-Stenerson Literacy Coach Merrill Middle School 108 W.

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.
