[MOSAIC] DRA word list

[Kukonis at aol.com]

Hey everybody
My list is at school... I have no idea where the original document came  
from... found it in the basket of materials that a former literacy first grade  
teacher gave me... that's what prompted me to post the question of "what is the  
San Diego quick list" in the first place.... it has no title or publisher ... 
 just word lists with correlated DRA levels.... that much said... I still 
found  it a useful tool... one of my 3 team members said it did not help her at 
all  .... I'd love to know if it works for you. I will forward it on Tuesday 
since I  am not in session tomorrow. There was no rubric with it... I applied 
the five  finger rule: 1 error too easy (move up a level... )2-3 errors try 
testing at  that level, 4 errors (go slow -that level or the one below) and 5 
errors move  down a level. 
 
So much for scientifically researched materials but still... if   initial 
testing situations are relying on a conversation between you and student  and 
some quick inventories this type of test fits right in......
Pam
