Testing should take approx 30 minutes- It will provide information about the individuals achievement in reading and reading-related areas. The 6 subtests are: Word Recognition, Word Analysis, Oral Reading, Silent Reading Comprehension, Spelling and Word Meaning. All of the tests do not have to be given in one session. The DAR are designed to be used by classroom teachers, reading specialists, special ed teachers, psychologists and others who want to help students read better- No special training or instructions beyond the manual are needed. The Teacher's Manual-Part 2 & Part 3 addresses Trail Teaching Strategies and Preparing for Teaching. Meryl Eisenberg Specialist, Adults with Disabilities Broward County Schools Ft.
