[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember the Dibels is a screener. It’s purpose is. It to measure your child’s achievement or potential. It’s meant to flag at-risk students. The virtual administration IMO affected both PALS and DIBELS scores. If your child is a strong reader and you didn’t have concerns prior, and you still don’t have concerns (meaning, the test says your child is meeting grade level benchmarks, in the green zone which is grade level), I would not worry. Also it’s the first year of DIBELS. did your child score in the yellow or red zones in any subtest?[/quote]

This is OP. Thanks for the responses. No, no yellows or reds, but for accuracy of oral fluency (reading aloud), she barely scored in the green, with abysmal national percentiles on that one. And this is someone who has always read way above grade level and never have any concerns been raised about reading aloud. I asked my daughter and she said she didn’t think it was hard. I also asked about the virtual format and she said it was ok, but that the text was a little small. [/quote]

Reading aloud, and without any mistakes or hesitations is a skill and one not mastered by independent silent reading which can be rushed. I wouldn't worry too much accept an awareness that you might want to have your 5th grader read aloud to you a few times a week and you do the same to the 5th grader to stress the importance.
