Can I use a student’s score from RFBA, Benchmark Assessor Live, or DIBELS to place students in Read Naturally?
Benchmark assessments like Reading Fluency Benchmark Assessor (RFBA), Benchmark Assessor Live (a component of Read Live), and DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) are used to see who needs a fluency building program like Read Naturally and to monitor student progress in fluency. With benchmark assessments, students are assessed with grade-level passages, which will not necessarily give teachers the information they need to initially place students in Read Naturally.
Students are typically placed in Read Naturally a half grade above their instructional level because of the audio support they receive during the read along step. It is best to place students in Read Naturally by using the Read Naturally ME placement packet, the Read Naturally SE placement program, or the Read Naturally Live placement program.
