Yes, DIBELS is designed to be administered to all students who are learning to read English. We don't have any specific guidelines for administering DIBELS to students learning to speak and read English. While the measures are standardized and should be given to all students in the same manner, there are a few accommodations that can be made when necessary and are specified in the chapter on Approved Accommodations in the Administration and Scoring Guide available from our Download Materials page.

The passages are intended to be equivalent in grade level. They do not progress in difficulty in any systematic manner. Each passage balances decodability, Lexile level, and various measures of comprehensibility. You can find out more about this in the Appendix A of the Administration and Scoring Guide.

The guide can be accessed from the Testing Materials Page. Just click on the "DOWNLOAD DIBELS MATERIALS" button and the Guide is the first link on the page after the click-through use agreement. https://dibels.uoregon.edu/materials
