K-3 Universal Literacy Screening
Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS®)
We will use the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills, referred to as DIBELS as our universal screening tool in grades kindergarten through grade 3.
DIBELS® (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is a simple, one-minute check that gives teachers a quick snapshot of how a child is growing as a reader. This collection of quick assessments measure how students are developing early and essential literacy skills. They are designed to celebrate progress, spot early signs if extra support is needed, and ensure every child has the chance to become a confident, successful reader.
The assessment will be administered by a teacher or staff member and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Screening will take place at the beginning and in the middle of the year. Results will be shared with families after the screening.
