[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. They are nearly fluent at reading -- well above grade level books with great comprehension. After chatting with the school, looks like the spelling in particular was a challenge.[/quote] I am a reading specialist in Virginia. Many students do not meet the benchmark in PALS because of the spelling alone. As Pp stated, the word recognition component is very fast and some otherwise strong readers do poorly on that. The oral reading passage level is based on the word recognition score, so a poor word recognition score can lower that score as well. DIEBELS is based on a grade level passage so everyone is reading the same level (more or less). Not sure why a school would use both. Seems like a waste of time. [/quote]
