What DIBELS Measures: CARI 14

What is the CARI? The following benchmarks are given 3 times per year. *Daze – Silent Reading Maze (whole group) Silent Reading (SR) with multiple choice comprehension questions (small group for students with some risk) Oral Reading (OR) with Recall plus Oral Comprehension Questions (1:1 for students at risk) *Our focus is on the Daze assessment. If you would like the additional assessments please reach out to the assessment office for further assistance. 15

What is CARI? A brief standardized assessment. Universal screening Linked to CCSS Tightly controlled for readability Predictive of future reading outcomes* Group administered for DAZE Small group and individually administered for additional assessments (Silent Reading & Oral Reading) Progress monitoring Formative *The CARI is in its Research Phase 16

What does the Daze Measure? Reading Comprehension Background information, prior knowledge, & vocabulary Linguistic skills: syntax & morphology Inference: cause/effect & figurative language Growth in the school year 17

Silent Reading and Oral Reading Reading Comprehension Vocabulary Literal and inferential details Inference: cause and effect, point of view, drawing conclusions, main idea, prediction, application of content Silent Reading Measures (SR) Word Recognition and Fluency Advanced Phonics and Word Attack Skills Accurate, Fluent Connected Text Reading Comprehension Vocabulary Literal detail inference Oral Reading Measures (OR) 18

There are three different scan sheets. 1 for each passage. Directions are given on the yellow sheet on the suggested script. The teacher scans the pre id scan sheets. It may take an entire class period depending on the class. 25

Who will take it? All 7th and 9th grade students including special education students except those enrolled in a Life Skills course. 26

EADMS Quick Check of Scores When using EADMS to check scores please note that Percent Correct (PC) is irrelevant to a DAZE score. What is relevant is the Raw Score (RS) and taking a quick look at the greens and pinks. A Pink question mark shows non attempted or an incorrect response. 27

How to use the results Find out your students’ ability within the class. What can be done to help these students with comprehension? When the next benchmark is given check for growth. < 20% is at risk 20% to 40% is some risk Above 40% low risk 33

Additional Support will be Provided “All students will realize their unlimited potential” We are in the beginning process of using this assessment. Please work with us in making it meaningful and purposeful so we can have more students college and career ready. 34
