DIBELS 8th Edition literacy assessment consists of :
Letter Naming Fluency (LNF) now accounts for how frequently letters appear in both upper- and lower-case forms.
Phonemic Segmentation Fluency (PSF) now accounts for both word frequency and the number of phonemes in a word.
Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) now accounts for the frequency of spelling patterns.
Word Reading Fluency (WRF) is now part of the DIBELS assessment system.
Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) only requires one passage per benchmark period and passages are now written by experienced authors.
Maze passages are now written by experienced authors and include several other improvements.
