We use DIBELS as a broad screening tool for decoding difficulties. Since this is the first year we are using it school wide we are going to DIBEL the 4th and 5th graders also, mainly for fluency and prosody. It is much like a running record for the older students. We do use their grade level whether that is their reading level or not. If they are extremely low you can use materials from the previous level to track them as you give interventions to bring them up to grade level.
This is a very simplified explanation of how we use DIBELS.
