Our school has also administered DIBELS through 6th grade and it has worked
really well for identifying fluency problems. We are now trying to move on
to identifying fluency and comprehension issues in older students--which the
DIBELS doesn't cover--therein lies our district-wide issue.

possibilty of Palm Pilots then. And here we are 7 years later and we're
still talking!!!!! However, the online datasystem although sporadically
temperamental, is a very powerful tool.

recommendations
Our district is using the DIBELS assessment - fast, easy screening tool.
We use it on Palm pilots so the only paper used is the student copy. The
test is completely scored on the Palm. It makes it very easy to administer
and you have instant results - high risk, some risk, low risk, progress
graphs, etc. There are benchmark materials so progress goals are set for
each individual; the students, teachers and parents can clearly see if the
student is progressing appropriately or not. It is for k-6 and has been a
great tool used by all the teachers for planning instruction, targeting
needs, and conferences with parents. It is a screening tool, not a
diagnostic assessment.

I work in a fairly small district where we are looking into purchasing a
K-12 reading assessment (not a reading program). We are wanting a program
that focuses on word recognition, fluency and reading comprehension (other
reading elements are fine too). Additionally, it needs to be something we
can administer fairly quickly. We do have some money to spend on this,
but
cannot spend tons. I know there are a lot of assessments out there, but I
need recommendations of those that have worked in existing districts.
I went through the archives and was not able to see any strands on this
topic . . . but if someone knows of a strand to read, please let me know
so
we don't re-discuss this . . . Thanks!
