Academic Associates Reading Program

by 4th

May 8, 2010

I've seen this company advertised in teaching magazines and checked out their website. Does anyone have any experience with them or know anything about them? Sounds too good to be true. If it works, I'd love to try it.

Aug 30, 2012

I searched endlessly for such a template or progress report that could be downloaded or a resource from other schools. The DIBELS website from Univ. of Oregon, DIBELS guidebooks or textbooks didn't have much of anything as well. In ...See More

DRP

by RTI

Jun 2, 2014

I am a high school reading intervention teacher and have been given the Degrees of Reading Power as a resource for measuring reading comprehension. How reliable is this test for measuring progress in reading comprehension? I've been told that it's little more than a measure of vocabulary, not comprehension.

Lisa I would say it as as accurate as any - which is to say that any test that does not include a critical thinking/writing component is going to be more of a vocabulary measurement than reading comprehension. However, when I used the DRP tests, the results were usually withing a few months to a year of where the student was successfully comprehending w...See More

Nancy I use Language! at the junior high setting, and as far as being to "babyish", it does seem that way, but you want to make sure the students get a good basis before building on.

Also, for those kids that do think the phonics parts are too babyish, I would pair that up with some multisyllable words with the "baby" word in it and tell them we need to focus on the small words to get to the big words. Hope it helps.
