OK, any thoughts on the accuracy and/or reliabilty of the DORA?
I bribed my son, who just turned 4 three weeks ago, into completing it in three segments. Here's what I got:
high-frequency word subtest (range K to high 3rd): maximum
word recocognition (range K to high 12th): low 12th
phonics (range K to high 4th): maximum
spelling (range K to high 12th): high 1st
oral vocab (range K to high 12th): mid 5th
reading comprehension (range K to high 12th): mid 5th
The estimated Lexile score was 600.
I have noticed that many of the books that interest him are recommended for ages 8-12 (I'm sometimes tempted to lie to librarians that I'm getting books for his "older brother"), but still, this seems crazy.
