I chose the DIBELS Maze assessment tool. I work with students in grades 9-12 in a science placement. The content I teach in my classes can be dense and it is important that, as a teacher, I understand the level of comprehension my students have so I can provide appropriate interventions to help my students succeed.

DIBELS 8th Edition Oral Reading Fluency & easyCBM

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency. I work with a third grade class where reading comprehension is essential for many assignments throughout the day. Due to this, I feel like they can use a little work on their fluency in order to bridge the word recognition to comprehension. Working on fluency will allow students to focus on what the text is saying rather than focusing on reading the words.
I chose easyCBM because this test provides a web-based district assessment system that includes both benchmarking and progress monitoring assessments combined with a comprehensive array of reports.

I chose this assessment because it has partially to fully convincing evidence of accuracy over three periods. It will also be used since my students are showing need mostly in the area of comprehension.

Star 360 data revealed students are ready for instruction with print concepts and the greatest area of need surrounding phonological awareness. The two screeners  will help confirm whether the greater need falls within the area of phonological awareness.

My hypothesized are of need is phonemic awareness because my students area in a grade 2-3 RSP room and I frequently see them strugle with this. I chose the Dibels 8th addition Phonemic Segmentation Fluency because it uses nonsense words to assess if students are able to connect written letters with the individual sounds associated with them.  -Rex

DIBELS: Nonsense Word Fluency Correct Letter Sound

# data[].attributes.body
This is a standardized, individually administered measure of the alphabetic principal. I accounts for frequency of spelling patterns. The final scores are the number of letter sounds read correctly and the number of nonsense words read or recorded as a whole word. We chose this screener because it is an approved assessment with accommodations for students with disabilities.

I have chosen the DIBELS Maze for 8th grade as my assessment tool. I am currently in a high school math placement, and when presented with word problems several of the students seem to struggle with comprehending the assignment(s) given. I believe that reading comprehension for math can be essential, as being able to pull the necessary information from a passage is extremely important.

I chose to use DIBELS maze for reading comprehension as the screener for my assignment. I chose to use the 3rd grade benchmark for my fourth grade students because it is acceptable based on their levels. I chose to use DIBELS instead of mClass, because it is free and has higher reliability and validity. mClass costs about $20 per studnet. DIBELS has high reliability based on convincing evidence, while mClass is only based on Disaggregated data.

I chose the Dibels 8  Nonsense Word Fluency assessment.  I am working with students in second grade. I believe that it is important that I understand if students are able to sound out words and know their level of phonemic awareness. This assessment will help me identify if students need interventions regarding phonemic awareness. The Dibels has high accuracy and reliability and it is free to administer.

The Nonsense Word Fluency Correct Letter Sounds for Kindergarten is a standardized, individually-administered measure of the alphabetic principle. NWF is seen as a “pure” measure of the alphabetic principle, because vocabulary and sight word knowledge cannot play a role in recognizing nonsense words. This screener is reliable and has somewhat reliable.
I choose not to do the Dibles edition 8 Phonemic awareness screener because according to the website it was only somewhat reliable and had no validity.

I chose the Acadience grade 1 benchmark 1 because, like the Dibels, it also uses nonsense words to measure phonological awareness. It also has a very high reliability and validity measure.

# data[].attributes.body
This benchmark material seemed easy to work with since it had adequate step-by-step. It makes me evaluate the students understanding level. After giving them a look, it makes me feel like both work fine yet this one was easier for this to work with.

I chose this assessment because I work in a second grade DLI classroom. We teach the Spanish LA session and this assessment offers materials in Spanish.
