EDLI636 Diagnosis and Remediation of Literacy Disorders

Integrating technology into literacy instruction makes learning fun and enjoyable for students. It is also very important because students need the ITC skills and technological skills in general once they leave the confines of school. There are many ways to incorporate technology into the classroom.

DIBELS DIBELS is a set of short tests that help teachers assess their students knowledge of literacy skills. It is a great indicator of future student performance.

I did the 4 assessments on Chava a 2nd grader. What is very interesting about Chava is that she is a very strong student who taught herself how to read at a very young age. She is a fairly fluent reader and can read books at a pretty high level, however she is missing a lot of skills that students gain from the in class lessons as will be seen in the results below: Print Awareness:  Chava has great print awareness. She was able to locate the title of the book and the author. She was able to count words in a sentence and how many sentences were on the page. She was able to locate the beginning of the pages and was able to locate a specific word when I gave her directions. The only term Chava was not aware of was paragraph.
