Second Grade

All students at our school are screened for reading difficulties three times a year using the

Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) Next. This is one assessment that

helps us identify students who may need extra help in learning the skills needed to become a

strong reader. Your child’s performance on this assessment follows:

Teacher Comments:

Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF)

Children with strong phonics skills know the sounds of letters and are able to blend them together to form words. On the

NWF assessment, your child is shown a “nonsense word” containing 2 or 3 letters (e.g. bim, ob) and asked to read the

word. Your child is given credit for each correct sound (Correct Letter Sound– CLS) and added credit if he/she simply

reads the word without saying each individual sound (Whole Words Read– WWR). Nonsense words are used so that

the teacher knows your child is connecting the sound to the letter rather than recognizing the word by sight.

DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency (DORF)

On the DORF assessment, your child will read three passages appropriate for his/her grade level for one minute and

then asked to retell what was read. The teacher will calculate the words read correctly (Words Correct– WC), your

child’s accuracy rate, and the number of words your child uses to appropriately retell what was read. Retelling the story

or text is important because it gives the teacher an indication if your child not only can read the words, but can

understand what he/she is reading as well. The median WC, accuracy and retell will be used as your child’s score on

this assessment. The teacher may also judge the quality of your child’s retell on a 1-4 scale (1– 2 or fewer details; 4– 3

or more details that captures the main idea). Although this scale is not used to determine your child’s overall score, it

provides helpful information for instruction.

Composite Score

The Composite Score is a combination of the assessments and provides the best overall estimate of your child’s reading

proficiency.
