DIBELS Next
DIBELS® Next are short (one minute) fluency measures that can be used for universal screening, benchmark assessment, and progress monitoring in Kindergarten - 6th grade.
Data Management
The UO DIBELS Data System provides data management support of DIBELS Next through the 2019-20 school year. Historical data will remain available through reports.
Growth Percentiles
Zones of Growth provides educators an easy way to set individualized literacy goals, review growth percentiles, and evaluate students' progress.
Reports
District, school and project reports provide immediate feedback for decision making. Class and student reports help identify students who need additional support and monitor response to intervention. View all reports
Instructional Grouping

Note that the DIBELS Next materials are now called Acadience™ Reading. The materials are the same, the only change is to the name. You can enter Acadience Reading scores into your DIBELS Data System account as DIBELS Next scores. View FAQs about DIBELS Next/Acadience™ Reading.

Benchmark Goals
Student scores are used to determine how each student is doing in relation to a benchmark goal that is predictive of later reading success. The benchmark goals are criterion-referenced. Each measure has an empirically established goal (or benchmark) that changes across time to ensure students’ skills are developing in a manner predictive of continued progress.
UO DIBELS Next Recommended Goals
UO-CTL researchers have analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of schools, resulting in new recommendations for DIBELS Next benchmark goals. The new and improved goals more consistently identify students who need additional support to become proficient readers. We have prepared this planning guide to be used within your school teams if you choose to transition to the recommended goals.
