DRA READING LEVELS

 

因为前一阵学校测试女儿的READING LEVELS,用的是DRA TESTING,所以在网上找过一些DRA的信息.下面说的东西很符合老师跟我们解释的一些测试项目.搬过来给大家看看.下面没提,但是我女儿的测试分FICTION跟NON-FICTION两项分别测.

DRA,还有其他测试方式的分数跟年级的关系在这个LINK里有.知道自己孩子分数的可以参考一下: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.

家长也可以根据自己孩子的水平给孩子找合适的书看.不过说实话,我家给孩子买书没参考过这个:)
