Which assessment can identify a student’s reading level?

The Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) is specifically designed to evaluate a student's reading level by assessing their reading fluency and comprehension skills across various text types. It provides educators with insights into a student’s ability to read and understand age-appropriate texts and helps identify appropriate instructional strategies.

Using the DRA, teachers can determine not only the reading level of each student but also monitor progress over time, allowing for tailored instruction that meets each student’s needs. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding where a student stands in their reading development and what specific support they may require for improvement.
