How will these scores be used to calculate the VPK Providers Kindergarten Readiness Rate?
The percent of children ready for kindergarten on each of the three measures is calculated by dividing the number of children who score at or above the levels for readiness on each measure by the number of children screened on each measure. For example, based on the table below, if, out of a total of 22 children served by a VPK provider, 22 children are screened on the ECHOS and 22 score “ready,” 22 divided by 22 equals 100-percent. If 20 children are screened on DIBELS LNF, and 15 are “ready,” 15 divided by 20 equals 75-percent; and if 20 are screened on DIBELS ISF, and 12 are “ready,” 12 divided by 20 equals 60-percent. The sum of the percent of children ready for kindergarten is the Readiness Rate. In the example above, the sum of the percent of children ready (100 + 75 + 60) equals a readiness rate of 235. The maximum rate is 300. VPK Provider Readiness Rate Calculation ECHOS™ DIBELS™ Letter Naming Fluency DIBELS™ Initial Sound Fluency Children Ready for Kindergarten: ECHOS: Demons
