Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) is a set of measures used to assess early literacy and reading skills for students from kindergarten through sixth grade. You can use DIBELS Next to: • identify students who may be at risk for reading difficulties; • help teachers identify areas to target instructional support; • monitor at-risk students while they receive additional, targeted instruction; and • examine the effectiveness of your school’s system of instructional supports.
