DIBELS vs. QRI-5

They are some differences and similarities between the QRI-5 and DIBELS. In doing DIBELS it really assess the students fluency for the most part. Also in doing DIBELS it gives you a time limit of 60 seconds. Also with DIBELS you can do the Benchmark or the progress prompt The Benchmark is when you do it in the beginning of the year, the middle of the year and in the end of the year. Progress Prompt is when you do DIBELS with the student every few weeks. In doing the QRI-5 it doesn’t have a time limit. It doesn’t really focuses on fluency but mostly comprehensions. Well in both you can focus on comprehension. In both there is a retelling to see if the students comprehend the following passage. In the QRI-5 there are questions that the students must answer and also the QRI-5 has miscues that the students are being scored on it. To me I preferred the QRI-5 because I feel that it focuses more on comprehension more then on fluency.
