DRA2 plus Progress Monitoring Assessment (When the +plus sign is on the logo, it determines that PMA is included)

IS there a promo for PMA for DRA2?

DRA2+ (DRA2 kit and the PMA together) is discounted if customers want to buy both at the same time.

What about existing DRA2 customers who want PMA?

For an existing DRA2 customer, they should just buy the PMA to add to their DRA2 (FYI…there is no discount on PMA alone).

What levels does the DRA2 PMA cover?

Levels 4-60 (grades 1-6) include seven or eight NF selections for each grade level. Levels 40, 50, and 60 have included stages within the levels…early 40, mid-40, and late 40, etc.

Why are teachers asked to find Instructional level, instead of Independent, with PMA?

In response to RTI requirements, the PMA offers shorter, more frequent assessments to help teachers guide instruction for students who are in need of intervention. However, if teachers choose to use the PMA with all students in their class, they may do so.

What is assessed?

Oral reading fluency, comprehension, and in-depth monitoring of skills, vocabulary, and word reading

What are the components?

Teacher’s Guide (print)…overview, guidelines, comparisons of DRA2 and PMA, author information, “If…then…” page is Focus for Instruction

CD-ROM...95 reproducible passages, teacher observation guides for each passage, continuums, reproducible graphic organizers, recording forms, and group performance forms

Routine Cards…16 cards that support instructional routines such as blending, decoding, practicing fluency, retelling, and many more

Will the PMA be able to work on the OMS & Tango?

Yes, it is available now.

Does DRA2+ include OMS?

No, it is the same package as the DRA2--adding the PMA only.

The plan is to add the PMA to OMS so the access to OMS would include the ability to enter data from PMA, too.

Who should administer the PMA?

Author Joetta Beaver would say it's very important for the teacher who is delivering the instruction to administer the assessment to "hear" how the student reads and be able to note things that someone else may not be aware of with a specific student.

What suggestions should we offer on how to monitor Kdg. Students, since it begins at Level 4?

It would be more appropriate to monitor Kindergartners with the Word Analysis tasks and to provide follow-up instruction that addresses those specific tasks for children who are not on-level.

Is there a “Moving into Instruction” piece available with the PMA?

Yes, the Routine Cards offer Best Practices for teaching specific areas of need.

How often do we recommend using the progress monitoring assessment?

It can be used in between DRA2 assessments, every 2-3 weeks.
