Re: QRI or Gray Oral Reading? to Suzy:
Posted by suzy on 3/26/08

    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.
