A colleague of mine shared what she does to facilitate the DRAs going more quickly (this is at the higher level, where kids write their answers themselves)--she does the running record portion for each student, then says to the student, "I'm going to have you come back to this book again soon." When she's done the running record with everyone, she gives everyone in class the book they did the running record from and has them all do the reading and the writing at the same time. It still takes a long block of time, but at least it's just one long block of time instead of several days of a few kids at a time needing a long stretch of time.
