[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a normed test. It means that of all the 5th graders given this specific passage (which there are different passages for each grade level and each time of year, they don’t repeat) scored at or above or at or below your child. Note that a 4th grade level reader to be reading on grade level should be able to read a grade level text at 95-96% accuracy at a minimum, with a specific number of words per minute (I can’t remember that number off the top of my head). The PALS test is completely different as it is criterion referenced and not a normed assessment. I hope this makes sense. It is just a snapshot of one day. It’s not meant to give a level like the PALS. It’s meant to identify students at risk for not meeting grade level standards, that’s all.[/quote] Thank you, are you a teacher? Do you find DIBELS to be more helpful than PALS?[/quote]
