As part of the data we collect to measure student mastery and of academic skills we have our teachers work one-to-one with their students three times a year giving a DIBELS assessment. DIBELS stands for Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. These tests measure students reading rate as well as their comprehension of what they read. There are established national standards that we use to assess whether students are meeting these benchmarks to be considered reading at grade level. Mrs. Hall is working with Elena Park on the mid-year DIBELS assessment.
