The app keeps track of time and errors during the oral reading and alerts the teacher when a text is too difficult. Reading Engagement and Comprehension sections capture each student’s responses and corresponding teacher scores.

When the assessment is complete, the final continuum is displayed with scores populated from selections made during the assessment. The DRA2 Focus For Instruction provides teaching points for classroom instruction based on the continuum scores. The class home page gives teacher an at a glance overview of students’ performance against district benchmarks.
