What is the difference between DIBELS and IGDIs?
DIBELS and IGDIs are similar in many respects. They are both tools to monitor the progress of beginning reading development. However, one difference is that DIBELS are for older children as they are intended to be used with children in kindergarten and older grades, while IGDIs were designed to be used with preschoolers, ages three to five years old. In addition, another difference is the specific nature of the tasks. However, conceptually and functionally they are very similar.
