Re: QRI or Gray Oral Reading? to Suzy:
Posted by suzy on 3/24/08

    I use running records and the DRA2. However, the best I have seen
    is the new Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark assessment. I do not
    have it but sure wish I did. It came out in July 2007 and I saw
    it at a conference and have a sample from Heinemann.

    I also want more than reading levels. With K, grade 1 and grade 2
    children I also see how many words a child can write in 10 minutes
    and give a dictation to see if a child can hear and write the
    letters to represent sounds in words. I also look at classroom
    writing samples and give the Words Their Way developmental
    spelling assessment. I hope this helps.
