Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Fluency Skills or DIBELS follows a preventative model philosophy in which students are assessed using a systematic process to determine whether or not students are meeting critical milestones in early literacy skills. Data is collected to provide information to assist teachers in differentiated intervention instruction and to monitor students in order to ensure that the struggling child is making progress, and that he/she stays on track once he/she makes benchmark. DIBELS is administered district-wide to assess reading skills in Kindergarten through second grade.
