Not now since I am focusing on early literacy. I have however and like working with them. Our district just uses the DRA2 with K-6 (I am in a K-4 building). It is a "universal" assessment used throughout our district. This assessment has a written component. Oral reading to me is not a good measure of children who are silent readers.
