Using DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency Progress Monitoring is a common question (if not THE most asked question) Angie receives from teachers and administration. This resource is full of professional development and all the resources you'll need to effectively progress monitor your students' ORF. We hope it clarifies all the misconceptions about DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency as well as allows teachers to use time wisely when assessing reading. We truly want to help teachers work "smarter and not harder"!
We have many predictors of good reading, one strong predictor is Oral Reading Fluency (ORF). We can use ORF norms to determine where our students should be in terms of speed and accuracy at a given point in time when they are reading grade level text. You can refer to our ORF file for further information on this and for everything you need to progress monitor on TPT.
We recommend DIBELS as a progress monitor because it is a Valid and Reliable measure and has been since 2001. Why?
1) It
is fast,
2) Fluency
is a great place to see most of the reading components very quickly put into
action. I can see Phonics improve,
fluency improve, discuss comprehension or get a quick measure with a retell,
and even do a running record on the DIBELS progress monitor score sheet.
When you are progress monitoring your students, you can see
if they are making adequate progress to meet their goals that are determined by
their target lines (ambitious and expected). The progress monitoring data
points should remain within the two target lines. Download our ORF resource for more information.
