The primary purposes of the Bridge Pack, an extension of the DRA 4-8, are to provide appropriately leveled materials for middle-childhood students who are reading on second- and third-grade reading levels, and assessment formats that adequately scaffold the reading as well as the responses of these students. It gives teachers a comprehensive perspective of each student's reading achievement. It assesses student reading achievement in engagement, oral reading fluency, and comprehension skills and strategies, using an appropriately leveled text. It has been designed to reflect real reading situations in which students are placed daily. Teachers are able to provide an appropriate level of scaffolding based on their observations of each student's strengths and needs.
