Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills
This link takes you to the official DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) site, developed by the University of Oregon. DIBELS are a set of standardized, individually administered measures of early literacy development. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly monitor the development of pre-reading and early reading skills.The measures assess student development of phonological awareness, alphabetic understanding, and automaticity and fluency with the code. Each measure has been thoroughly researched and demonstrated to be reliable and valid indicators of early literacy development and predictive of later reading proficiency to aid in the early identification of students who are not progressing as expected. When used as recommended, the results can be used to evaluate individual student development as well as provide grade-level feedback toward validated instructional objectives.There is no charge for downloading and using the DIBELS measures.
