Evaluación del Desarrollo de la Lectura 2

Evaluación del desarrollo de la lectura 2 (EDL2+) has been widely field tested to support literacy assessment for Spanish-speaking students with the goal to help native speakers and those learning the language to become successful readers.

Would you like to...

• Identify a student’s independent reading level and document their progress over time?
• Provide powerful instruction and tailor teaching based on the specific needs of each student?
• Provide a common literacy language across schools?
• Identify critical points of intervention and compare your students’ progress with benchmark expectations?
• Allocate instructional materials and personnel resources more effectively?
• Group students based on their specific literacy needs?

EDL2+ can help! This research-based literacy solution provides you with the right mix of tools to assess your students' literacy skills, effectively tailor your instruction, and monitor their progress.

EDL2+ supports students

EDL2+ includes tools to evaluate numerous facets of your students’ literacy competence. One of these individual diagnostics, Word Analysis (EDL2 Análisis de palabras), includes 30 tasks designed to evaluate:

• Phonological awareness
• Metalanguage
• Letter and word recognition
• Structural analysis and syllabication

EDL2+ supports teachers

As our population’s diversity increases, teachers need an efficient way to measure each student’s literacy strengths and areas of need. EDL2+ gives you the tools you need to:

• Quickly identify the strengths and instructional needs of each student
• Help students develop effective word analysis skills and strategies needed to read and comprehend more complex texts
• Plan effectively for instruction and monitor progress over time

Progress monitoring (Verificar el progresso)

Use the EDL2+ Verificar el progreso to measure reading growth and ensure students are receiving the precise instruction needed to achieve reading success. The EDL2+ provides:

• 95 brief, leveled passages and passage-specific Teacher Observation Guides
• Passages starting at Level 4 through Level 60

Scoring and reporting platform

Did you know that EDL2+ has an online platform? In 2021 we added the EDL2+ content to the same online platform as our sister product, DRA3. You can now assess, score, report, and maintain student records all in one place!

EDL2+'s instructional guidance helps reading teachers interpret EDL2 scores and use them to improve classroom instruction by providing:

• Comparisons to other familiar leveling systems
• Strategies teachers can use to build customized lesson plans based on EDL2 student and classroom scores
• Time-tested ideas introduced in DRA2's Focus for Instruction and Moving into Instruction components
