DRA-3 (Diagnostic Reading Analysis) Reading Booklet

The DRA‑3 Reading Booklet is a critical component of the Diagnostic Reading Analysis 3rd Edition—a one‑to‑one, oral, standardised assessment for struggling readers aged 7–16. It contains all fiction and nonfiction passages needed to evaluate reading accuracy, fluency, comprehension, reading and processing speed, plus a single‑word accuracy subtest.

Parallel forms allow for reliable progress monitoring, and the oral administration format makes it ideal for lower-ability or reluctant readers and those with writing difficulties.
