January Blog

Of course, I am late again on my January blog!!! Sorry everyone! Kristin and I just quickly assessed each student on their reading level. We used the reading a-z passages which correlate pretty well to the DRA levels. They are short and are following by 5 comprehension questions. This was much quicker and more efficient than giving everyong a DRA half way through the year. Now we are going to look at the notes that we made and the levels to design some new strategy groups and focus in on some specific skills. Just an idea for people for a quick assessment!

    AWESOME!
    A-Z, where did you find them? Did you use those last year?

    I have not heard of the A-Z passages- does it come from a certain curriculum? It sounds like a useful assessment tool to use for checking in during the year. Do you think it is just more primary or also appropriate for upper elementary- 3rd grade?
