The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) is an individual reading assessment used by teachers
and reading specialists to identify a student's independent reading level. It can be used with students
in kindergarten through eighth grade. The assessment provides information about the student's reading
accuracy, fluency (speed or rate of reading) and comprehension. This information is used by
teachers and parents when selecting books to ensure that students are reading material at an
appropriate level. This information is helpful for all students but becomes particularly useful for
students who are struggling with reading.

reading material at an appropriate level. This information is helpful for all students but becomes particularly useful for
students who are struggling with reading. The challenge for parents, students and teachers alike is to find appropriate
books at the correct reading level so that the child can make the best possible progress in reading. There are leveled lists
available, but you need to be careful that the list you are using matches book levels to the DRA if that is the assessment
you are using.

1. Administer the Developmental Reading Assessment to determine a student's independent reading level. This
assessment should be administered by a teacher or reading specialist who is familiar with the test and proper
procedures. The DRA will give a reading level using a numerical system that is roughly related to a child's grade
level. For example, a DRA level of 20 indicates a reading level at the beginning of second grade. A level of 24
indicates a reading level at middle second grade, and a 28 indicates a reading level at the end of second grade.
The Assessment can be re-administered throughout the school year (usually quarterly) to track a child's progress.
2. Choose books at the child's independent reading level. Scholastic's Teacher Book Wizard is a search engine that
you can use to find books at a particular level. It provides lists of books using a variety of leveling systems. For
the DRA level system, you would indicate that you are searching for books using the DRA levels. Set your
preferences, including interest level, reading level (DRA level), language, type of book, topic and genre or theme.
The Teacher Book Wizard will generate a list of books that fit your preferences. You can use this list when
helping a child find appropriate books.
3. Search for reading level correlations on the Reading A to Z Web site. Books may be leveled using a variety of
sources, including an alphabetic system (Guided Reading levels), a grade-level system or other numeric systems,
depending on the reading assessment that is used. Reading A to Z provides a correlation chart so that you can
search for books based on these systems and compare them to the DRA leveling system. This Web site requires a
subscription to use the materials; however, the correlation chart is available at no charge.
4. Visit your public library. The children's section librarian at many public libraries can provide information as to
reading levels on books. If you use the Reading A to Z correlation chart, you can easily transfer different leveling
systems to one that the public library may have.
5. Keep track of the child's reading progress with continued DRA assessments so that you can move him to new
levels as warranted
