I have a question about DIBELS. I have been using the progress monitoring reading passages and have run out. What do I do now?

Sadly this tool was to be used as a screener only to identify at-risk readers ~ and ONE tool of a comprehensive assessment package for students ~ never to replace running records, comprehension and discussion. Sounds like in many places it is the driving assessment. Its value for us is to check each of the stepping stones towards reading ( phonemic awareness, alphabetic principal and fluency in connected text). Used for what it is meant to do is valuable ~ we conference with the team about the readers at risk regularly and make sure that other pieces are in place for comprehension. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > _______________________________________________ > Mosaic mailing list > [email protected] > To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to > http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org. > > Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive. > > _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
