[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son is a fourth grader in APS, and he just got his DIBELS results. His end of year score is in the Core^ range, which is good. But it is 15 points lower than his middle of the year score. Are the middle and end scores apples-to-apples comparisons? In other words, does this mean that his score somehow decreased in the past five months? [/quote] What score within the test was lower? Did his oral reading rate drop from middle to end? Or the MAZE adjusted score? Kids vary on these test all the time and the Dibels is a normed test. Even if your child grows they might not have increased enough to stay at the same percentile or composite. If they are in the blue range you do not need to worry. It’s also a test given in 4 minutes total. Additionally your kid could have known a lot about the topic of the passages middle of year and not as much end of year. I truly wouldn’t worry if they are in the above grade level range.[/quote]
