  1. Using DIBELS and IDEL when reading instruction is in Spanish Naomi Hupert, Simon Shulman Education Development Center Liza Rael New Mexico Public Education Department

  2. Comparison of IDEL and DIBELS data • As part of our work evaluating the New Mexico Reading First program, we looked at DIBELS and IDEL scores from Sept 2005 to April 2006 to see if students receiving some or all of reading instruction in Spanish were achieving similar results to those receiving instruction in English • We found that students receiving core reading instruction in Spanish, and taking the IDEL, showed greater gains than those receiving instruction in English and taking the DIBELS.

  3. Comparison of IDEL and DIBELS data • At the time, there were no Benchmark scores for IDEL, so we compared DIBELS Benchmark recommendations with IDEL low risk, some risk, high risk designations • We only compared first through third graders, because fewer subtests comprise those overall Benchmark scores

  4. Statewide IDEL and DIBELS Data: First Grade

  5. Statewide IDEL and DIBELS Data: Second Grade

  6. Statewide IDEL and DIBELS Data: Third Grade

  7. Interesting Finding The three schools identified as most successful in five different categories that demonstrate improved student reading as measured by DIBELS all provide dual language programs for students.

  8. Site Visits to Dual Language Classrooms • We conducted observations in three dual language classrooms in two schools • Conducted interviews with three dual language teachers, two reading coaches and two principals in schools with dual language programs

  9. Recommendations Based on Site Visits • Focus on Oral Language Development • Use many of the instructional strategies proven effective with English readers • Use supplementary materials to augment core program • Emphasize parent involvement • Provide dual language-specific professional development • Recruit Spanish speaking resource teachers
