Testing - Mandatory State Tests
Test Information:
The two mandatory tests that will be administered are:
-DIBELS - Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills is comprised of six measures that function as indicators of the essential skills that every child must master to become a proficient reader. They are used to regularly monitor the development of early literacy and early reading skills. DIBELS was designed for use in identifying children experiencing difficulty in the acquisition of basic early literacy skills, in order to provide support early and prevent the occurrence of later reading difficulties.
-TRC - Text Reading and Comprehension - This test is used for teachers to record observations to analyze our students reading comprehension, to assign reading levels, and to monitor their progress to support mastery of increasingly complex texts.
These tests are done in the beginning, middle, and end of the year.
