[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my young the DIEBELS and PALS scores give completely different results. I think my kid was not in the mood to be assessed on PALS day. [/quote]
DIBELS is a true screener -- its looking for things like learning delays or if your kid really can't read at all.  Depending on how young your child is, it might not be very meaningful.  [/quote]

I’m sorry for reviving this very old post. The PP says DIEBELS is a true screener. We’re in 2nd grade - is it meaningful for reading comprehension at this point? From what I understand, this is the first year they test for it. Thank you for any insight. [/quote]

DIBELS isn’t mostly for reading comprehension— it’s for phonics, fluency, and such. Hence the nonsense words. But I can tell you that when my dyslexic kid was in 3rd grade, she got a perfect score on the reading SOL (untimed, tests only for reading comprehension) while still scoring “below goal” or “far below goal” on all or nearly all components of the DIBELS. They test for very different things. [/quote]

Interesting. Thank you.[/quote]
