[MOSAIC] San Diego quick test

[read3 at aol.com]

 We are about to launch our very first round of DRA testing.? Would you be able to share that list, perhaps as an attachment?? I'm guessing I'm one of many who will thank you!

Jennifer I have a word list that has correlated dra levels on it. When  first 
graders come to their very first DRA test ever we usually pick about five  
benchmark books. Then we work up or down from the initial reading if that text  
is not the just right text. But this is time consuming.... so if I administer  
the word test (which is just lists correlated to Dra levels it almost always  
chooses a text better than the five finger rule and student and teacher  
discussion.... i just started using the word list and am actually  
Narrowing  the benchmarks used for initial DRA assessment and am able to 
place students in  appropriate levels earlier .
