Product Details
- Overview
-
DIBELS is a family of brief indicators used to screen and monitor foundational literacy development. The University of Oregon maintains DIBELS 8th Edition materials, while commercial products such as Amplify mCLASS and Acadience provide related administration, data, or successor assessment environments.
Districts may use downloadable measures, a commercial platform, or locally managed scoring, so a product record named only DIBELS can blur the assessment framework with the software actually used. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

- Supports benchmark testing and, where offered, more frequent progress monitoring.
Instructional response- Provides reports for grouping, intervention planning, goal setting, and monitoring response to instruction.
- Staff need training in administration, scoring, interpretation, and appropriate follow-up.

DIBELS ® (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is a set of procedures and measures for assessing the acquisition of literacy skills. They are designed to be short (one minute) fluency measures that can be used to regularly detect risk and monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills in kindergarten through eighth grade.
DIBELS was developed to measure recognized and empirically validated skills related to general reading outcomes. Each subtest has been thoroughly researched and demonstrated to be a reliable and valid indicator of early literacy development. When implemented as recommended, DIBELS results can be used to evaluate individual student development as well as provide grade-level feedback toward validated instructional objectives.

The research-based subtests are predictive of later reading proficiency and contribute to a composite score that is the single best predictor of later reading development. The measures are consistent with many of the Common Core State Standards in Reading, especially those for Foundational Skills. Combined, the measures form an assessment system of early literacy development that allows educators to readily and reliably determine student progress in kindergarten through eighth grade.
