DRA READING LEVELS

 

因為前一陣學校測試女兒的READING LEVELS,用的是DRA TESTING,所以在網上找過一些DRA的信息.下麵說的東西很符合老師跟我們解釋的一些測試項目.搬過來給大家看看.下麵沒提,但是我女兒的測試分FICTION跟NON-FICTION兩項分別測.

DRA,還有其他測試方式的分數跟年級的關係在這個LINK裏有.知道自己孩子分數的可以參考一下:http://www.oasl.info/lexiles/ReadingLevelComps.pdf

DRA Testing
The DRA test is traditionally administered on an annual or semi-annual basis. The test measures nine categories of reading behavior and six types of errors. It was developed in 1986 (and revised in both 2000 and 2003) by a committee of educators and is intended to evaluate certain aspects of your child’s reading level.

How DRA Levels and Testing Work Together
Tasks measured by the DRA test are divided into several skill sets. Rhyming, alliteration, segmentation, and phonemic awareness are tested in the phonemic awareness section. Letter naming, word-list reading, spelling, decoding, analogies, structural analysis, and syllabication are tested in the alphabetic principle/phonics portions. Oral reading fluency or words per minute for contextual reading are tested under fluency. Vocabulary, comprehension, and reading engagement skills are also measured in the test.

After the test is evaluated and scored, your child is assigned a numeric (or alphanumeric for very early readers) DRA level A1 through 80. Children with stronger reading abilities yield higher numbers. Teachers are easily able to give children books they can read by choosing a text with the corresponding DRA level.

家長也可以根據自己孩子的水平給孩子找合適的書看.不過說實話,我家給孩子買書沒參考過這個:)
