Amanda Strickland replied to wlingle's discussion 'DIBELS Thoughts?' in the group Elementary Reading Teachers
In Florida, the school system that I worked for used DIBELS to assess students' progress. As a first year teacher, I did not see how the NWF was relevant to a student's ability to read. It seemed to confuse the students and myself. I felt…

DIBELS Thoughts?
I am attaching a Research Paper I am using for part of my literature review for my Masters Program and I got to tell you that this has really got me worried about if DIBELS is the way to go when identifying future at risk students.
