This is exactly why I campaigned...(hard... and fortunately successfully!) not to have DIBELS adopted in our district! DIBELS does send the message to both teachers and kids that reading rate is the end goal not comprehension. I still find that for kids at risk, monitoring reading rates can assist with identification and diagnosis of reading problems. Jennifer Maryland In a message dated 7/8/2007 9:35:58 P.M.

I agree with Elaine that DIBELS can message readers that WPM is what reading is all about.
