Our district is implementing the tiering for rti as well as thinking about who needs more intensive instruction, but so far we have not had any mandated progress monitoring methods. We check back after an IST- Instructional support team- meeting, usually about 6-8 weeks, and see if the issues with the child have been resolved. Our problem with DIBELS is that it really doesn't seem to address comprehension issues for older kids. If the student can retell what they've read and use the words from the story they get credit. Yet, isn't that just assessing working memory, not comprehension? They only get 1 minute to talk about the story. So, we really don't have a good progress assessment that can be used weekly or biweekly like we should for tier 3 kids. Does anyone else have these issues? Michelle- NY AIS 2-5 reading
