The Diagnostic Reading Assessment (DRA) for grade 1 provides a standardized diagnostic instrument designed to evaluate areas of strengths and weaknesses in reading. It may be administered to the entire class in three sittings to avoid student fatigue.
  • Provides Immediate Results
  • Is Easy to Administer and Score
  • Assists with Student Placement
  • Identifies Areas for Remedial Instruction

The DRA for Grade 1 is composed of 5 sections:
  • Part 1 – Word Analysis/Decoding
  • Part 2 – Vocabulary
  • Part 3 – Comprehension
  • Part 4 – Language Arts
  • Part 5 – Reference Skills

After the scores for the five subtests are determined, they are added together to get a total score. The total score is then matched to one of four levels of readiness. DRA’s Class Record Sheet and Class Summary Report are used to record information about individual and group performance on each subtest and on the entire test. Test results help teachers discover where additional instruction may be needed. These results may also be used to form fluid groups for group instruction in reading.
