[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kindergartener's teacher shared the results with us. She tested at grade level but the teacher said she didn't know the sounds for a number of letters. But actually, she does...and she can read, which by parent teacher conference time the teacher acknowledged. She's just very slow to warm up and a 1-on-1 with a teacher at the beginning of the school year is a way that will guarantee you will absolutely not information out of her. This method of testing seems unreliable.[/quote]

So is Dibels actually a 1-on-1 test with the teacher? Our 2nd grader scored  at grade level, but I was confused how she "needs some support" for decoding, yet is at benchmark for "accurate and fluent reading" and actually scored above benchmark in reading comprehension.[/quote]

This would mean that your second grader was more able to read words in context than from word lists or lists of nonsense words.  This is important information, the skills in decoding will support your student as she moves into longer, multipsylabic words and reads more unfamiliar words.
