Re: 4-Blocks & RTI (long)
Posted by steph on 1/20/08
I agree that because we can't really hear the tone of a written message, we
might misunderstand. I just didn't want you to think that I was disagreeing
(Ha!) I guess this could go on forever. I might add some words about DIBELS,
after reading another post: Many schools are now using it as their main, and
often only data! I find this disturbing, because my good readers want to bring
meaning to what they read, so of course, they will slow down at times as they
are monitoring their comprehension. I have had many a third grade student be
identified as "emergent readers" based on DIBELS who are reading books at a 5th
and 6th grade level. One of my "fastest" readers struggles with meaningful
comprehension. Some teachers in my district actually beat on the table to get
the kids to read more quickly. The sad thing is, many folks are beginning to
equate fluency with speed, devoid of phrasing, emphasis, and understanding. Oh
well...off the subject, but some RTI approaches are using this tool without
looking at other ways to assess what students are doing as they read and how we
can specifically meet their needs.
