[quote=Anonymous]PS: DIBELS assessments vary by grade. They are different tasks for different grades. In 4th, there were 2 tasks: reading a passage for accuracy/speed; and reading a story and selecting the correct word that would work to keep going in the story (about 1 word per every 2 sentences). This demonstrates comprehension as well as fluency. For 3rd grade there were 4 subtests. For 5th, I am not sure. But it is different from the PALS. Which at the 4th grade typically has a 25 questions spelling assessment, sight word reading (NOT NONSENSE), which places you into a story to start with, you read the story for fluency, and answer questions (basic multiple choice). Depending on how you do on the first passage, you could be asked to read a higher or lower level story and then keep going up or down until you reach the "ceiling". It only goes up to an 8th grade level passage.  And also, there is not a correlation of PALS passages to DRA or Fountas and Pinnell levels so we don't know the exact criteria for the PALS stories.[/quote]
