WHAT IS DIBELS?

DIBELS is an assessment instrument that measures how successfully a

student is progressing in the critical skills that underlie success in early

reading. Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills is a tool that

assesses the following skills:

1. Initial Sounds Fluency—ability to recognize and produce initial

sounds in words.

2. Letter Naming Fluency—ability to recognize and name a random

mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters on a page, including sev-

eral fonts.

3. Phoneme Segmentation Fluency—ability to segment a spoken word

of two to five phonemes into the individual sounds.

4. Nonsense Word Fluency—ability to read two-letter and three letter

nonsense words, primarily consonant-vowel consonant patterns.

5. Oral Reading Fluency– fluency and accuracy in reading grade level

passages aloud, as measured by words read correctly per minute.

WHY IS DIBELS USED AT IOES: It is used to help teachers, parents,

and students. For the teacher, it helps the teacher to make instructional

decisions and to create small groups for intervention. For the students,

it allows the student to set reading goals based on where the student is

and where the student need to be by the end of the year. As a parent, I

want to know if my child is reading below, at, or above grade level and

what I can do to help increase my child’s reading ability.

HOW OFTEN IS DIBELS ADMINISTERED? DIBELS is administered

three times per year. Every student at IOES is administered DIBELS in

August, December, and in May.

WHAT IS PROGRESS MONITORING? It is the most important char-

acteristic of DIBELS assessment instrument. It is administered primar-

ily to students whose benchmark screening indicated that the student is

at risk, or some risk of not meeting the benchmark by the end of the

year. Therefore, the student will receive extra support through inter-

vention.
