 READING INFORMATION

• No more than 10 errors per 100 words, including words you had to tell your kid, are acceptable.

• The child must also demonstrate comprehension. This would be considered the Instructional level. 94% accuracy and above is the Independent level ~ your child can read and comprehend without instruction. (In other words, half-dozen errors or less per 100 words.)

• Comprehension with the book airtight is critical! Grades Thou and 1 should retell the story, make a connectedness to their life or some other book, tell their favorite role and why. Grades two and upwardly should retell, country the writer's lesson, describe the most important event, and why.

• Charge per unit (words per minute) is essential once your kid gets to Level I (end of form 1). Summate that as follows.

Nonfiction DRA2 options are bachelor for Levels 16, 28, 38, xl, 50.

**twoscore is listed 3x, and 50 is listed 2x. The goal is to become a stronger/college scorer at each assessment bespeak and let the student to be assessed in fiction and nonfiction at the twoscore and/or fifty.

Words Per Infinitesimal By Month/Class/Level

To calculate WPM:

___words in the book divided by ___SECONDS it took to read X 60 = __WPM

For instance, say in that location are 207 words in a book. The kid read it in 3 min. 25 seconds, which is 205 seconds. 207 divided by 205 is approximately 1.0 words per second x 60 = 60 WPM!

The above table is from the DRA2 manual and shows the MINIMUM amount of words per minute acceptable to keep to the next level.

• Are they demonstrating an understanding of the directionality of print from left to right?
• Tin they show directionality on ii or more lines of text?

Students should become automated at reading and spelling these chunks: short vowel rimes. For example, in my reading support group, we practice reading each row chop-chop over and over, pointing under each give-and-take.

Your child volition likewise demand to know how to read and spell the Grand Trick words. These words can't be "sounded out" and need to be recognized by sight: Kindergarten Trick Words.
