Teachers should assess students with low DRA scores using a phonological awareness assessment. They should discuss data and assessments during PLCs to determine effective strategies. Professional development should be provided to help teachers incorporate more phonological awareness into daily lessons. It is also suggested that teachers receive training on standards in grades above and below their current grade level to better understand student performance. If students are not performing at grade level, phonological awareness assessments can help bring them up. Recommendations. Students whose DRA scores are that are below grade level should be given a phonological awareness assessment to see what areas need more help. Use the time during PLCs to discuss data and assessments and decide what strategies would best benefit students. Providing professional development for staff on how to incorporate more phonological awareness on a daily basis. I included this quote because I feel that teachers should be provided professional development on the standards in the grades above and below their current grade level to help gather an understanding of where the student should ideally be performing and if they are not performing where they need to be we can use phonological awareness assessments to help bring the students up to grade level.
