Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA2) Overview
• Formative assessment for K-3 measuring student performance in oral reading fluency, reading engagement, and comprehension. Utilizes fiction and non-fiction.
• Grades 1-3 are assessed in September and May. Kindergarten students are assessed in January.
• Benchmark levels range from 1-38 and reflect growth in literacy skills. DRA2 Level Skills Addressed
Levels A-2 Concepts About Print (CAP), Tracking/Directional Rules , Print conveys the message, Word Concepts, High Frequency Words
Levels 3-6 Predictable Language Structures, Story Elements, Prediction, Oral Retelling of Text
Levels 8-14 High Frequency Words, Fluency- phrasing, Prediction, Story Elements-Setting Fiction Text Features, Oral Retelling of Text
Levels 16-28 Compare and Contrast Texts, Literary Language Structures, Character Traits, Oral Retelling of Text, Nonfiction Text Features- (e.g. Table of Contents, labels and captions, graphs, glossary)
Levels 30-38 Multi-syllable domain specific vocabulary, Elements of Realistic Fiction, Informational Text, Written Summary of Text Read

DRA-2 Questions to Consider• How can the DRA-2 shape instructional strategies,
particularly for students just below benchmark? For example, teachers are encouraged to use Running Records during Small Group Instruction between assessment periods.
• Evaluate staffing strategies: Are teachers the appropriate fit for the grade level? How are schools using evaluation data to coach 1st and 2nd grade teachers?
DRA-2 Data Takeaways• The decline in the Fall of 2nd grade suggests that students
aren’t achieving mastery by the end of 1st grade. • However, 24% of second-graders are scoring just below the
benchmark proficiency level.
SRI
22
Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) Overview
• Administered as a computer-adaptive assessment to grades 3-8.
• Designed to measure reading comprehension.• Students select reading genres of interest and
answer questions based on literature passages.• Students receive personalized reading
recommendations, as well as a reading level (Lexile score).
23
SRI: Students testing proficient or above range from 22% in 3rd grade to 40% in 8th grade.

SRI Data Takeaways• The number of students performing at “Below Basic”
declines steadily from 3rd to 8th grade. • Students performing at the “Basic” level remain relatively
consistent, ranging from 34% to 38%
SRI Questions to Consider• What can SRI scores tell school leaders when considered
alongside other interim assessments, such as Achievement Network? For example, student proficiency on different text types.
