Agenda Day One • Welcome • Materials for Today • Multi-tiered Framework • What is DIBELS Next? • Protocol • Scoring and Recording
Today’s Objectives • To introduce the multi-tiered framework • To introduce DIBELS Next as a screening and progress monitoring assessment tool • To become familiar with the administration and scoring procedures for all the DIBELS measures: • First Sound Fluency (FSF) • Letter Naming Fluency (LNF) • Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF) • Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) • DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency (DORF)/Retell Fluency • Daze

What Are DIBELS Next? Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills DIBELS Next are brief fluency measures of critical early literacy skills used to: • Identify students at risk EARLY! • Evaluate effectiveness of instruction
Page 10 Research and Development at the University of Oregon DIBELS research is supported by: • Early Childhood Research Institute on MeasuringGrowth and Development • Institute for the Development of Educational Achievement • University of Oregon, College of Education • Oregon Department of EducationThese materials were developed by Roland Good and Ruth Kaminski to use in training teachers to use DIBELS. http://dibels.uoregon.edu/
What is DIBELS Next? DIBELS Next are brief, powerful indicators of foundational early literacy skills that: • Are quick and efficient to administer and score • Serve as universal screening (or benchmark assessment) and progress monitoring • Identify students in need of intervention support • Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions • Support the RtI/Multi-tiered model 15
Why Do We Need DIBELS? • Big problems to solve • 20% - 70% of students have significant reading problems • Expertise is required • For students with a deficit in phonological awareness in kindergarten, reading difficulty and reading failure are likely – unless skills are remediated early • Time is critical • Students who fail to read fluently by the end of grade 3 have only minimal chance of ever achieving literacy competence.
DIBELS: Basic Rationale Data from many thousands of students has shown that how children perform on certain “index” skills is very predictive of whether they will be reading on grade level by third grade. In kindergarten, these areas of skill and knowledge are: phonemic awareness, letter knowledge, vocabulary
DIBELS: Basic Rationale In 1st grade, these areas of skill and knowledge are: phonemic awareness, phonemic decoding, vocabulary, reading fluency, comprehension strategies In 2nd and 3rd grade, these areas of skill and knowledge are: vocabulary, reading fluency, comprehension strategies
We Know That… There are 5 Critical Components of effective early reading instruction: • Phonemic Awareness • Phonics • Fluency • Vocabulary • Comprehension Students must have systematic and explicit instruction.

Alignment of DIBELS Next Measures with Basic Early Literacy Skills
Forms of DIBELS Assessment Benchmark Assessment (general screening) • Given to all children, K-6 • Given 3 times per year • Measures a few skills that are powerful predictors of reading success, as identified by scientific research • Will identify at risk students who are recommended for intervention and progress monitoring
Page 32 Benchmark Student Booklet
Forms of DIBELS Assessment Progress Monitoring Screening • Given to at-risk students (based on Benchmark Screening) • One target area at a time • Can be out of grade level • Consistent and given at equal time increments (Given every 2-4 weeks) • Purpose is to ensure that instruction is working
DIBELS and RtI/The Outcomes Driven Model AM pg. 8-9
Administration Guidelines DIBELS Materials • Clipboard • Stopwatch • Calculator • Pen or Pencil (in a color that is not black)
Administration Guidelines Testing Environment • Small table or student desk in a relatively quiet location • Time and location with minimal disruptions and noise • Corner of the classroom • Assessor positioned (around the corner or across from student) to be able to: see the student’s face and to be able to hear clearly
Administration Guidelines • Timing • Encouragement and Reinforcement • Modeling and Reinforcement • Repeating Directions or Items • Discontinuing an Assessment • Invalidating an Assessment
General Scoring Guidelines • Articulation and Dialect Differences • Use of the Schwa sound • General reminders: • If a student stops and it is not a hesitation say, “Keep going.” (This reminder can be used as often as needed) • If a student loses his or her place, point. (This reminder can be used as often as needed)

Implementing DIBELS Next in Your School Testing Approaches: • Within the classroom • The classroom teacher assessing 5 students a day • School-wide: One Day • A large team of trained assessors • Team must be large enough to cover the whole school • The classroom teacher can assess their own class as the assessor teaches the class • Advantage: efficient testing, minimal disruption • Disadvantage: need for a large support team which may include the needs for subs (money) • School-wide: Multiple Days • Smaller team, multiple days
Protocol • Big Idea • Read and highlight Assessment Manual • Review • Practice: 1. Highly Structured Practice (I Do) 2. Check for Understanding (Appendix) 3. Guided Practice (We Do) • Scoring & Recording • Q&A

Alignment of DIBELS Next Measures with Basic Early Literacy Skills
First Sound Fluency- FSF Read the description and administration directions on Pages 39-42.
FSF Scoring RulesPage 42 • 2 points for correctly identifying the initial phoneme • 1 point for identifying the correct initial sounds • Make a slash (/) for an incorrect or no response • Write “sc” for a response that the student corrected within 3 seconds • Discontinue Rule • discontinue if the student has not said any correct sounds in the first 5 words • Wait Rule • Wait 3 seconds for the student to respond • Examples…
