If it refers to DRA 6, that'd be right about where I'd want to see a child now in March. I like to see my kindergarten students at a level equivalent to DRA 8 by year's end. However, there are so many factors to consider. Not every single kid will get to 8 by the end of the year and that's okay. As long as they are progressing and enjoying reading, as long as they have a good phonics grasp, many sight words, and strong comprehension, they should be fine. In other words, your child is right on track.

DRA?

Report cards are back and our child was assessed at reading level 6 . What does that mean?
