Looking for suggestions of programs to use at the fourth grade level to determine reading levels. My district so far has tried:

DRA2 - seemed to be more of a writing test, but not the same type as required on our state test, time consuming when doing a whole class, and had a huge jump in expectations from third to fourth

Fontus and Pinnel (spelling? sorry) - seems to easy to have the outcome differ from teacher to teacher with all of the listening of the comprehension, by fourth grade the students need to be writing at least some since that is what is on the state test

So what are some programs you have used that you feel does a good job at the 4-6 grade levels?
