Can you use DIBELS materials and apply the decision making framework and goal-setting criteria used with CBM?
The oral reading fluency passages in DIBELS could be used as the materials for CBM passage reading fluency. The same criteria for setting goals and using the data in a decision making framework would apply. The additional DIBELS materials — Initial Sounds Fluency, Phoneme Segmentation Fluency, Nonsense Word Fluency, Word Use Fluency, Retell Fluency — are not identical to the other CBM reading materials (Letter-Sounds Fluency, Word-Identification Fluency, or Mazes) and therefore should not be substituted for CBM measures when setting goals and using the data in a decision making framework.
