Your child was selected through a multiple screening
process,beginning with
the DIBELS assessment, whereby kindergarten has letter naming and
initial
sound fluency components and first grade has letter
naming,phoneme
segmentation fluency and nonsense word fluency components.
Teacher referrals
are also taken into consideration, if needed.
During January, the DIBELS assessment is administered
again,whereby
kindergarten has 4 components: letter naming, initial sound
fluency, phoneme
segmentation and nonsense word fluency. First grade has phoneme
segmentation,
nonsense word fluency and oral reading fluency.
Finally in May, the DIBELS is administered once again to check
the student's
progress, this time kindergarten is assessed in letter naming,
phoneme
segmentation and nonsense word fluency; first grade is assessed
in phoneme
segmentation, nonsense word fluency and oral reading fluency.
