BIG IDEAS in Early Literacy Skills Phonemic Awareness.

The awareness and understanding of the sound structure of our language, that “cat” is composed of the sounds /k/ /a/ /t/.

Phonics or Alphabetic Principle. Based on two parts: Alphabetic Understanding. Words are composed of letters that

represent sounds, and Phonological Recoding. Using systematic relationships between

letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence) to retrieve the pronunciation of an unknown printed string or to spell.

Accuracy and Fluency with Connected Text. Readers who are not fluent at decoding are not able to focus their

attentional resources on comprehension.

Directions1. Place the student copy of randomized alphabets in front of the

student.

2. Place the examiner copy of randomized alphabets in front of you on the clipboard, but shielded so that the student cannot see what you record.

3. Say these specific directions to the student:Here are some letters (point). Tell me the names of as many letters as you can. When I say “begin,” start here (point to first letter), and go across the page (point). Point to each letter and tell me the name of that letter. If you come to a letter you don’t know I’ll tell it to you. Put your finger on the first letter. Ready, begin.

Directions4. Start your stop

watch after saying “Ready, begin.” If the student fails to say the first letter after 3 seconds, tell him/her the letter and mark it as incorrect.

5. Follow along on your copy. Put a slash (/) through letters named incorrectly.

Scoring Directions

1. Put a slash (/) through letters omitted or named incorrectly.

2. The following responses should be counted as errors:a. The student substitutes a different letter for the

stimulus letter, e.g., the student says "B" for "D".b. The student stops or struggles with a letter for 3

seconds.c. The student omits a letter.

Page 21: DIBELS TM : Overview and Use Good, R. H., & Kaminski, R. A. (Eds.). (2002). Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (6th ed.). Eugene, OR: Institute

(c) 2002 Good & Kaminski

Articulation and Dialect

Articulation and Dialect. The student is not penalized for imperfect pronunciation due to dialect, articulation, or second language interference. For example, if the student consistently says /th/ for /s/ and pronounces "thee" for "see" when naming the letter "C", he or she should be given credit for correct letter naming. This is a professional judgment and should be based on the student's responses and any prior knowledge of his/her speech patterns.

(c) 2002 Good & Kaminski

Scoring Notes

If a student skips an entire row, draw a line through the row and do not count the row as correct.

Upper case letter “i” and lower case letter “L” are hard to differentiate. A response of either “i” or “L” is scored as correct.

If a student makes an error and corrects him/herself within 3 seconds, write "SC" above the letter and do not count it as an error.

First Grade Benchmark 2 – DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency, Passage 1

The Robin’s Nest

There was a robin’s nest outside our kitchen window. The

nest was in a tall bush. The mother robin sat in the nest all day

long. One day when I was watching, the mother bird flew

away. I saw the eggs she was sitting on. There were four blue

eggs.

I watched and watched. The eggs moved. I watched some

more. The eggs started to crack. Finally, the eggs hatched. I

saw four baby birds. The baby birds opened their beaks wide.

I heard them peeping. Soon the mother bird came back. Then

the mother robin put worms in their mouths.

Every day I watched the baby birds and their mother.

Pretty soon the babies were so fat there was no room for the

mother. Then one morning the nest was gone from the bush.

5. The maximum time for each word is 3 seconds. If the student does not provide the word within 3 seconds, say the word and mark the word as incorrect.

6. At the end of 1 minute, place a bracket ( ] ) after the last word provided by the student and say “Stop.” Record the total number of words read correctly on the bottom of the scoring sheet.

Directions for Scoring

1. Hesitate or struggle with words. If a student hesitates or struggles with a word for 3 seconds, tell the student the word and mark the word as incorrect. If necessary, indicate for the student to continue with the next word.

Using Data to Inform Instruction Examine class as a whole to inform whole

group instruction

Examine groups of students to inform small group instruction

Page 52: DIBELS TM : Overview and Use Good, R. H., & Kaminski, R. A. (Eds.). (2002). Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (6th ed.). Eugene, OR: Institute

(c) 2002 Good & Kaminski

Whole Class Instruction: Kindergarten Example 80% of the students in this class met the goal

of naming 27 letters or more in one minute

Tier 1 (core) instruction in this area is meeting its goal

40% of the students met the goal of segmenting 18 sounds or more in one minute

Tier 1 instruction in this area is NOT meeting its goal

Small Group Instruction: Kindergarten Example Small group to help the 20% in letter naming:

Chris, Edwin, Matt

Small groups to help the 60% in phonological awareness: Chris, Edwin, Leta William, Tyson, Edna, Matt Essence, Tashaun, Delia

Whole Class Instruction: First Grade Example 35% of the students in this class met the goal of reading 24

sounds or more in one minute

40% of the students met the goal of segmenting 35 sounds in one minute

Tier 1 instruction will need to be as good as it possibly can be to catch these students up

Tier 2 instruction (intervention) may be necessary for some students who do not make adequate progress in Tier 1

Progress Monitoring

Conduct progress monitoring assessments every 2-3 weeks

Assess only students who do not meet goals on appropriate screening measures

Examine students’ scores to look for progress in meeting established goals

Use to help inform both whole group and small group instruction

Error Analysis

Using scored protocols to determine error patterns

Used to inform whole group and small group instruction

Examples: PSF - students provide initial sound only NWF - students confuse letter sounds
