  2. Introduction • Purpose:InformallyAssessingafourthgradeCLDstudentwithdyslexia • Theories: • DIBELS (DynamicIndicatorsofBasicEarlyLiteracySkills) • culmination of years of work by many individuals concerned with improving reading outcomes for children • DIBELS are comprised of seven measures to function as indicators of phonemic awareness, alphabetic principle, accuracy and fluency with connected text, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. • DIBELS were designed for use in identifying children experiencing difficulty in acquisition of basic early literacy skills in order to provide support early and prevent the occurrence of later reading difficulties. • GORT-5 • Gray Oral Reading Tests-5th Edition (GORT-5) is a test that can measure individual’s reading rate, accuracy, fluency and comprehension. It can assist the diagnosis of oral reading difficulties, which is a significant symptom of dyslexia, and monitor the academic achievement. This test is administered to children ages 6-0 to 23-11.

  7. TheoreticalandPracticalFrameworks • Performance&DynamicAssessment&SelfEvaluation • Progress monitoring-- a practice that helps teachers use student performance data to continually evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and make informed instructional decisions. • 1.ReadAloud:Pronunciation,Intonation,Fluency (Hall, 2006) • 2.Instruction:Provide explicit and systematic instruction (Ehrietal.,2001) • Most children do not learn to read or spell “naturally” but instead learn from instruction. • MainIdea,SentenceLength,Howmanysentenceuse • Assessment: Accuracy • MaterialSelection:LevelP,PictureAssistance,AudioReadingBook • Instructional time spent on independent, silent reading with minimal guidance or feedback has not currently been confirmed by research to improve reading fluency. • Document thestudent’s reading achievement

  11. Recommendation&Discussion • Every single teacher is a teacher of language and content. • Collaboration • Pull out->Push in (Teachers are training for teaching second-language learners, and they are responsible for all students, including ELLs) • Encourage and facilitate an inclusive school culture that promotes ESL teachers and content teachers working together. • Self-Evaluation • Portfolio(Chamot,2009) • Challenges: • Establishing the critical relationship between assessing students and delivering data-driven, tailor- made intervention to at-risk students • Promoting an inquiry-based approach to intervention • Being a collaborative team member • Being a lifelong learner • Recognizing the opportunities that change brings
