Does anyone know of a good progress monitor probe for comprehension for grades 3-6? We tried and dismissed the AIMS MAZE -- it may be predictive, but doesn't match any instruction. We need something that can be given every couple of weeks, that will give a general comp score. What do others do for RTI data for comp?

I have used Clay's Observation Survey. Any other suggestions out there? Opinions on DIBELS? Can you use it for entering kindergartners? How expensive is DIBELS?
