Designed for comprehensive early literacy development
DIBELS 8th Edition focuses on foundational reading skills and comprehension through short, one-minute measures. Text Reading and Comprehension drills deep into how students make meaning from text, utilizes an authentic text library, and helps determine reading levels. mCLASS’s dyslexia measures, used in conjunction with DIBELS 8th Edition, provide additional screening for dyslexia risk.
FCRR Center Activities
From 2004 to 2010, a team of researchers and teachers at FCRR collected ideas and created Student Center Activities for use in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms. The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.
