reading program. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills
(DIBELS) will be administered to all K-3 students who are shown to have a
substantial reading deficiency. The DIBELS will be used as: A. The
evaluation instrument to determine which areas of reading the child is
deficient. B. The progress-monitoring instrument to document progress
toward grade level proficiency, and C. The assessment instrument used for
discontinuing services. The DIBELS evaluation will be administered within
thirty days after the beginning of the school year, for applicable first and
second grade students, and within 30 days after receiving the QELI report,
for applicable kindergarten students. Intensive reading interventions will be
comprehensive in nature and will be targeted to remediate the area of
deficiency. For those affected students, school personnel will develop an
Intensive Reading Improvement Plan (IRI) that will describe our intervention
program. Intervention will be provided in the form of prescriptive
individualized and small group instructional strategies. These intervention
strategies and methods will continue until each student has reached grade
level proficiency in all essential areas of reading. Student achievement in
each of the essential elements shall be monitored bi-weekly until proficiency
occurs. Students who are not meeting current expectations shall be provided
additional interventions. Each parent, or guardian, will be notified in writing
when their child has been identified with a substantial reading deficiency.
