Program Summary/Abstract Description

This presentation focuses on a study carried out in a French immersion charter school on the scores first-graders obtained on two reading benchmark tests, the DIBELS and its equivalent in French, the IDAPEL. A statistical analysis of the results shows a strong correlation between the scores on the two tests for all the categories of reading predictors and indicate that the students’ level of French can account for some of the score differences observed between the two tests. This study thus questions the necessity of conducting two separate reading benchmark tests and offers insights to educators on reading remediation strategies.
