Let the DIBELS begin!!

The first full week of school is over and our students are finally settling in so it's now time to start the DIBELS. My first grade team and I are excited about the new changes with this test we all feel that it will measure our students skills more accurately. We all hope to get a better picture of what they can actually do. The changes that have made the largest impact are the changes to the Nonsense Word Fluency section of the test. My collages and I feel that these changes now give us a better idea of just how well our students are reading words. Our scores do appear lower but we now have a much clearer picture of what are students can do. I am so grateful that we covered the DIBELS in class.
