I've been trying to figure out what Dibels are and how to interperet the scores. DS scored 99% accuracy on 189 words per minute at the third grade level. His WJ3-ACH scores have his reading fluency at 144. The preliminary evaluation we have from the school to take with us to his IEP meeting pretty much ignores the scores on the private assessment and lists the Dibels as the only assessment of current acheivment.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'd like to be able to ask the question at the school meeting and know if I'm getting snowed.
Thanks
