Search Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
Children and Young Adult literature interest me. Right now, my daughter is in first grade, is developing her reading comprehension. Although I taught fourth grade language, the students came to me, most, reading fluently. Watching my daughter transition from a non-reader to a reader has fascinated me. Reading level is included in the six week report. As a result, I wanted to see where her level fell on the DRA chart. I found this table on the database I am analyzing and have used it to track her progress. I like this visual because it has the DRA rating, as well as, Basal, Guided Reading, Reading Recovery, Lexile and AR (ATOS) side by side. I have printed it out and placed it on my refrigerator as a reference.
