DRE (Diagnostic Reading Evaluation)

A Diagnostic Reading Evaluation (DRE) is an assessment tool used to identify students' reading abilities, strengths, and areas for improvement. In language learning, DREs help teachers understand individual learners' reading skills, including comprehension, fluency, and decoding. The results of a DRE inform instruction by highlighting specific needs and guiding targeted interventions. This ensures that reading instruction is personalized and effective, supporting overall language development.
