DRA: I have started to assess your child’s reading abilities. To


do this, I use an assessment that common in all of Yale Public Schools,
the DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment). In first grade, your
child is expected to be at level 4 by progress report time (October
29th). At this point of the year, we focus on word recognition as well as
decoding skills (being able to sound out unknown words). When your
child reaches a level 12 (mid January-March), he/she will be tested on
comprehension of what is read. If your child is not a level 4 at progress
report time, we will put a reading intervention plan in place at
conferences. Please look for their DRA level on their progress report! If
you have any questions, please let me know!

I will be out of the building on Friday, October 22.
