Florida Center for Reading Research (fcrr.org) is a great resource, but I don't think it goes beyond 3rd grade - someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.
DIBELS assessments or AIMS seem to be the most popular assessment and they go beyond the lower grades and I believe include math. DIBELS can all be downloaded free - everything you need. I don't think AIMS is free. My building is piloting RtI with grades K-3 this year. My opinion has not been formed on DIBELS yet - I'm concerned about the lack of assessment for comprehension. Everything is timed and based on only 1 minute's worth of responses/reading. Many kids can hold it together to read for 1 minute - but can't maintain that level of concentration or can't comprehend more lengthy text. I'm hoping to have a strong enough voice to get some aspect of DRA2 incorporated into our tiers of interventions. I'd be interested, too, in what resources there are for the middle grades. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M E Sinkiewicz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 7:44:48 PM (GMT-0600) America/Chicago Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Research Based Response to Intervention fro Middle School Florida Center for Reading Research (fcrr.com, maybe .edu?). Tons of research-based ideas. Joe Torgensen, reading guru and experienced teacher, runs the center. Good luck.
