DIBELS
DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic
Early Literacy Skills) are a set of standardized, individually
administered measures of early literacy development. They are
designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures used to regularly
monitor the development of pre-reading and early reading skills.
The DIBELS measures used
for the FLKRS are initial sounds fluency, and letter naming fluency.
Initial Sounds Fluency
The DIBELS
Initial Sounds Fluency (ISF) measure is a standardized, individually
administered measure of phonological awareness that assesses a child's
ability to recognize and produce the initial sound in an orally
presented word.
o One-third
of Pinellas County’s kindergarten students were considered to be
moderate to high risk in 2007 and in need of intervention. Although
this was the same percentage as in 2006, it was a significant
improvement over 2004/2005 and was lower than the state average.
Letter Naming Fluency
DIBELS Letter
Naming Fluency (LNF) is a standardized, individually administered test
that provides another measure of risk. Students are presented with a
page of upper- and lower-case letters arranged in random order and are
asked to name as many letters as they can.
