Pearson Simplifies Student Assessment with Award-Winning DRA2 Handheld-Tango Software Edition

Reading teachers around the country can now transform their iPod touch into a powerful tool for diagnosing, assessing and improving student reading skills. Pearson, the education and technology company, today announced that its award-winning DRA2 Handheld – Tango Software Edition is available for Apple’s popular handheld device.

Pearson collaborated with Liberty Source, developer of the Tango handheld software, to take the leading reading assessment for grades K-8, the Developmental Reading Assessment™, Second Edition (DRA2), and combined it with state-of-the-art handheld technology to create the DRA2 Handheld – Tango Software Edition. Built on more than 20 years of research and development, the DRA2 is an accurate assessment that helps identify a student’s reading ability and level, document progress, and tailor teaching to drive effective reading instruction. Earlier this year, DRA2 Handheld – Tango Software Edition took top honors in the Software & Information Industry Association’s 24th Annual CODiE Awards as the winner for Best Educational Use of a Technology Device.
