As for the poster that mentioned the 193 in Kindergarten, that is not the DRA, but instead it is the DRA2 word analysis test. It covers letter recognition, sounds, rhyming, and a couple basic sight words.

On the DRA used for 1st grade and up, the child reads a short book to the instructor and is scored on accuracy and comprehension.[/quote]

PP here with the Kindergartner -- both the DRA2 and DRA were listed on DC's report card.  DRA2 was 193 and DRA was 24.[/quote]

me-again. Yes, they sometimes give the standard DRA test to kindergarteners who are reading well. I was told that at our school, they can't give a 5 on the reading section of the Kindergarten report card without having given the DRA typically given to 1st graders.

My son scored a 193 at the beginning of the year, so instead of the DRA2 at the end of the year, they had the reading specialist give him the DRA which he scored a 28 on. I'm not sure how that will work since they likely won't be willing to test him past a 28 next year, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.[/quote]
