Scarborough's Rope
Scarborough's Rope
The DIBELS subtests provide data on each subtrand of Scarborough's Reading Rope, allowing us to monitor students as they become more automatic and more strategic on their path to skilled reading.
"Learning to read is one of the great achievements of childhood, and listening to a child read a story fluently, with excellent expression, is a joy. For some children, however, learning to read is not an easy process. Reading is an extraordinarily complex cognitive task. It encompasses a set of intricately orchestrated, fast-operating processes that must work together precisely—translating letters into sounds; integrating sound, letter pattern, and word meanings together to construct larger meanings; making connections between ideas in text; linking text ideas to prior knowledge; and making inferences to fill in missing information. These activities occur simultaneously, and problems in any area can lead to a total or partial breakdown. A lot can go wrong. The road to reading is often treacherous for those with dyslexia. These individuals require intense, precisely focused instruction."

Assessment to Drive Instruction
"Progress monitoring is when teachers assess students' academic performance on a regular basis (weekly or monthly) for two purposes: to determine whether children are profiting appropriately from the typical instructional program and to build more effective programs for the children who benefit inadequately from typical instruction."
"More than 200 empirical studies published in peer-review journals (a) provide evidence of CBM's [Curriculum Based Measurement, such as DIBELS] reliability and validity for assessing the development of competence in reading, spelling, and mathematics and (b) document CBM's capacity to help teachers improve student outcomes at the elementary grades."

PSF (Phoneme Segmentation Fluency)
Why: "Many students fail to develop the decoding skills necessary for automatic word recognition because they are not aware that spoken words are composed of units of sound, or phonemes. Because phonemic awareness is a strong correlate of reading skill, it is the basic (precursor) skill to be assessed in beginning readers."

Grades: K-1
NWF (Nonsense Word Fluency)
Why: "Decoding skill can be directly assessed through tests of real and pseudowords ... According to Adams (1990), poorly developed word recognition skills are the most pervasive and debilitaitng source of reading difficulty."

ORF (Oral Reading Fluency)
Why: "Research consistenly supports the relationship between reading fluency, which is the accurate reading of text at a conversational rate with appropriate prosody, and reading comprehension. Slow, laborious reading taxes the reader's capacity to construct ongoing interpretation of the passage. For this reason, fluency tests, which measure both rate and accuracy, are critical assessment measures."
