Well the DRA test requires giving summarizations, comprehension questions and some inference type questions. Then they gave him something called a Qualitative Reading Inventory and I got to see the passages and the questions. It involved sight word leveling first. Then it had a pretty involved comprehension piece at each level, each of which had concept questions, comprehension questions and inference questions and also involved him giving a summary for each passage. That one was all about comprehension. It seemed very involved to me. He passed the fourth grade comprehension level and the fifth grade sight word level. There were no words per sentence and syllables per word averages but they did make note if he didn't get a word in a passage correct.
