Abstract:

This study focuses on the patterns of similarities and differences found in second grade students' reading data taken from the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessment test and their Miscue Analysis sessions as measured by the In-Depth Procedure. Data was gathered using audio recordings, interviews and existing DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency subtest scores. Data was organized into five data sets and then analyzed using various groupings including the DIBELS labels Below/At/Above Benchmark and descriptors from Miscue Analysis--proficient, moderately proficient and non-proficient. Answers were sought to three research questions:1. What are the patterns of similarities and differences of miscues associated with second grade students' reading transactions with three different authentic texts of children`s literature?2. What relationship, if any, exists between second grade students' patterns of miscues and their DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency subtest scores?3. What are the patterns of retelling scores from Miscue Analysis by students designated at three different levels by the DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency subtest?The findings from this research study indicate that the texts used in assessments play an important role in children's reading transactions and ultimately influence the outcomes. Findings also indicate that the DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency subtest identifies the obvious; that non-proficient readers are not proficient at reading, and as a result the DIBELS provides little new and useful information for teachers and education specialists to use to help children grow as readers. A third and final finding indicates the need for a holistic retelling component within oral reading assessments as a measure of a reader's comprehension.

Research suggests that development of the alphabetic principle is a critical factor in learning to recognize words and becoming a successful reader. The alphabetic principle encompasses both the understanding that relationships exist between letters and sounds and the application of these relationships to reading words. This study investigated the degree to which different measures of the alphabetic principle were predictive of later reading development. These measures were examined in the context of Ehri's phase theory of sight word development to investigate how different behaviors associated with the alphabetic principle fit within a developmental framework. Two cohorts of students (109 kindergarteners, 212 first graders) participated in this study from spring of 2007 until late fall of 2008 (58 second graders, 121 third graders). The predictive powers of single and combined measures of the alphabetic principle were analyzed using sequential regression. Results indicated that each measure explained significant between-student variation in performance on measures of word reading fluency, oral reading fluency (ORF), vocabulary, and reading comprehension. A measure of letter-sounds embedded in nonsense words appeared to have more utility for the prediction of reading outcomes than a measure of letter-sounds presented in isolation. Additionally, including a measure of nonsense words with a measure of letter-sounds embedded in nonsense words increased the predictive power of the model over and above the predictive power of letter sounds alone. Growth on ORF served as an additional criterion for the purpose of investigating the methodology of measuring growth. Two conceptualizations of growth were explored: raw score change over time and individual rates of growth over time (slope). Correlations and sequential regression were used to evaluate the relationship between raw score change and measures of the alphabetic principle. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used to model individual slopes on Lexile measures of ORF (LORF). In general, raw score change appeared largely unrelated to measures of the alphabetic principle. HLM analyses revealed that individual differences in slope on LORF were minimal and not very reliable, making the prediction of these differences difficult. Recommendations for future research and implications for practice are discussed.

Abstract:

Reading is an essential skill that facilitates the development of later academic skills. Research has shown that phonological awareness at a young age is a strong predictor of later reading skills. As such, it is important to identify students who struggle with reading and phonological awareness at a young age. It is equally important that the tools used to identify early reading difficulties are appropriate and accurate for a given school district. The purpose of the current project was to examine the published benchmarks for the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) in the identification of students as at-risk for later reading difficulties. In the project, 104 kindergarten students' DIBELS scores were compared to their California Achievement Test-Fifth Edition reading scores at second grade. Published benchmarks were then adjusted to decrease the number of students who were seen as on-target initially, but struggled with reading at a later age (false negatives). While the published DIBELS benchmarks were adequate as identifying most students as at-risk, the adjusted cut-offs identified fewer false negatives. This information is important for school psychologists and other educators in the process of identifying students who may be at-risk for later reading difficulties within their school district.

Abstract:

Despite the billions of dollars spent in the last forty years, America's efforts toward closing the achievement gaps among diverse learners and their receptive counterparts have not been realized. Limitations noted in previous research discussed the need to examine the unique contributions of diverse learner variables as a way of determining their specific academic needs. The purpose of this study was to examine the intra- and inter-group growth trajectories of two diverse student groups (English Language Learners and Students with Specific Learning Disabilities) on reading achievement. The study employed a longitudinal, quasi-experimental research design utilizing archival data from 26,947 students' files to answer two research questions. The first research question examined growth relationships between 3rd grade English Language Learner student categories on reading achievement while holding gender and socio-economic variables constant. The second research question explored the extent to which the initial levels and slopes of 3rd grade students with specific learning disabilities differed across racial and ethnic groups. Growth curve analyses were employed to answer both research questions. Findings revealed significant intercept and slope relationships for the two groups on reading fluency measures. Significant differences were found between the reference group (i.e., Non-ELL females who were ineligible for free and or reduced lunch) and two of the ELL subgroups. The slope relationships were only significant for ELL students (ELL-LY) who were in the currently enrolled (i.e., receiving some type of ELL instructional support or service) category. Gender and socio-economic variables were significant suggesting a negative influence on initial reading levels. Reading fluency (DORF) achievement findings relative to students with disabilities and their race and ethnic subgroups revealed White students' initial DORF scores were significantly different from Hispanic and Black students' scores. Race and ethnic slope variables were insignificant and homogeneous in nature. A discussion about these findings and their implications for closing the achievement gap for diverse students is provided in the document.

Abstract:

Accountability for student learning outcomes is of importance to parents and school and district administrators, especially since the passage of The No Child Left Behind Act in 2001. The requirement for high-stakes testing to measure progress has fostered interest in ways to monitor student preparedness during the school year. This study used 2014 and 2015 test data from of 154 students from one elementary school to measure the correlation between individually administered Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement Brief Reading and DIBELS Next reading assessments and outcomes on the high-stakes Utah SAGE test. This correlational study used Pearson correlation coefficients to determine redundancy across the tests, and used multiple regression to assess how well scores on the KTEA and DIBELS Next tests predict students' subsequent scores on the SAGE test. Results indicate that DIBELS Next was a strong predictor of SAGE outcomes while KTEA Brief results were moderate predictors.

Abstract:

When compared to western countries such as the USA, Australia has made relatively little use of reading-accuracy tests at the school level. This is despite there being readily available rapid-use reading-accuracy tests such as the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS, Good & Kaminski, 2002a), and the Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE, Torgesen, Wagner, & Rashotte, 1999).

Current developments such as the publication of the report of the National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (NITL) have given impetus to addressing this issue. This investigation explores the use of both the DIBELS and TOWRE tests to establish their usefulness in Australian school settings for the following purposes:

Providing reliable achievement data for monitoring reading-accuracy achievement at school level.
Providing useful qualitative diagnostic data.
Building school and teacher understanding of reading-accuracy development, assessment and instruction.
Building school and teacher effectiveness in instructional decision-making from test-data, to improve reading-accuracy instruction and achievement.

The results from the investigation indicate that both DIBELS and TOWRE tests are suitable for the above stated purposes. The results intimate a need to establish norms for Australian use of the tests, and value in developing specific additional tests.

Based on the findings of this research, a number of recommendations have been made towards Australian use of DIBELS and TOWRE tests. A model of reading-accuracy development is also presented for use in Australian reading instruction.

Abstract:

Research in the area of beginning reading has given educators both, the knowledge of the critical foundational skills that comprise reading, and the tools to assess such skills early to prevent the development of reading problems. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) are a series of brief measures that can be used to identify children who are at risk of developing reading problems as soon as they enter school. In this era of high stakes testing and accountability, educators must ensure that students are on their way to become proficient readers, well in advance of third grade when standardized tests are typically administered. In the interest of prevention and early intervention, authors of the DIBELS provide a timeline and recommended benchmarks to guide instruction and intervention. This study examines the diagnostic accuracy of DIBELS to predict oral reading fluency using author recommended cut-scores and alternative cut-scores identified as a result of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. The accuracy of the DIBELS was assessed across the range of all possible cut-scores in an effort to maximize desirable test characteristics such as sensitivity, specificity, predictive power, or more broadly, decision validity. A sample of 122 students were administered the DIBELS measures in kindergarten and the middle of first grade, followed by oral reading fluency at the end of first grade. Analysis of decision accuracy indicated that the DIBELS measures are highly sensitive in identifying students who are at risk of developing reading problems; however, this occurred at the expense of an inordinate number of false positives. This has important implications for the utility of the DIBELS as a decision-making tool. In an effort to maximize the accuracy of the DIBELS, ROC curves were generated and alternative cut-scores were identified which improved specificity, predictive power, and the percentage of correct classifications.
