Posted by PLB Blogger · Leave a Comment
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (more commonly known as DIBELS) is a formal, standardized reading assessment that is being used by a large number of schools in the United States.
This assessment has various components that are designed to assess the different components of reading. It is a comprehensive assessment that helps identify students with reading difficulties. In addition, it comes with instructional support that helps teachers plan strategies to provide differentiated instruction to students and help them build their skills.
Based on scores of thousands of students, DIBELS provides benchmark goals for each grade level. This assessment can also be used to collect school-wide data and assess the overall reading ability of the students in a school.
