A: DORA gives a very detailed account of how the learner is achieving in all areas of reading. Many reading assessments report results as a single reading grade- equivalent level. Knowing that a reader is at a certain grade level is helpful, but more detailed information is better for and more effective in driving effective instruction.Posted by Anne-Evan Williams at 03:08 PM.

There are many different ways to think about reading instruction, however there is a general industry consensus that each reader must have the ability to 1) sound out words 2) memorize words and 3) understand words and phrases well enough to make contextual guesses about unfamiliar words when necessary and to make sense of the text.Posted by Anne-Evan Williams at 03:07 PM.

It can be purchased together with the assessment or added on later. It links reading instruction (levels preK-5) with our reading assessment.Posted by Anne-Evan Williams at 03:07 PM.
