Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) Similar to GRL, at the beginning of the school year your child will read a benchmark book to the teacher and then retell the story. The teacher then scores your child on a range of skills, such as accuracy of reading, comprehension, and fluency.

DRA offers educators the tools they need to observe and document student reading abilities and helps inform instructional practice. DRA3 Online can be used on a laptop, desktop or tablet.

The test is given by asking the student to read an excerpt of the text and then summarizing what they have learned to the examiner. As students answer the questions, the text and questions will increase in difficulty. Based on the number of questions the student answers correctly, a DRA level will be determined.

The DRA3 Word Analysis is designed to provide teachers with a systematic means of observing how emerging and struggling readers attend to and work with the various features of spoken and written words. Perform word analysis tasks. Observe and assess foundational skills with 40 word analysis tasks.

How is the DRA administered? Teachers meet with their students in one-on-one sessions to listen to them read a short book or passage, and then retell what was read. The teacher uses this information to identify the DRA level at which the student can read without assistance.
