First, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy day to stop at my page. Second, I would like you to know that this page has been set up to help raise money so that I may purchase a class set of the online reading assessment known as the DORA for my upcoming 2014-2015 Kindergarten class.
The DORA assessment is an online reading assessment that tests students on eight skills of reading and immediately gives detailed results. This is extremely helpful for any teacher because the results show where a student is struggling and also where a student is doing well, which makes creating focused reading groups stress-free and enables myself or any teacher to focus reading instruction on the specific skills that need it. The Dora assessment also adapts the test by giving harder or easier questions based on the student responses it receives so you can get more accurate results. The assessment is also very kid friendly, using a mix of audio, text and pictures, it hardly seems like a test to them at all.
I used the DORA assessment last school year after raising the money here on GoFundMe.com and it was a major success. I was able to pinpoint specific areas that my students needed to work on indivdually and because of that my students achieved growth in all areas of reading. My class found this (purely online) assessment easy to understand and engaging, not to mention i loved the immediate results.Please help my class and my cause by donating whatever you can.
Sadly my School district does not utilize this assessment (yet) which is why I need to raise the money with your help.
Thank you.
*Any money donated will go toward the purchase of the DORA assessment. Any money over my goal or otherwise not used for the purchase will go toward classroom books and supplies.
