Hello colleagues. For the past few years, we have been using the DRA2 in Grades K-5. This year, we chose to not give the DRA2 basically above Level 28, because of our concern with using the written portion as a test of comprehension. Anyway, now we are considering moving to the Fountas/Pinnell Benchmark Assessments K-5 for a variety of reasons (written response being one of them). One big question I have is about the time per student: both tests are administered 1:1, but how about the overall time it takes to test one child if you're looking for both an independent and an instructional level....is the Benchmark longer? shorter? about the same? If you could email me OFF LINE and directly to my email address, that would be greatly appreciated. Great to have you all out there! Martha
