Goal 

The Manti Elementary School Community council members have set a goal to improve our DIBELS fluency reading proficiency with 83% of our students reaching grade level benchmark by April 2019

Academic Areas 

  • Reading

Measurements 

This is the measurement identified in the plan to determine if the goal was reached.

The DIBELS oral reading assessment is given to our students 3 times per year. We administer the assessment in the fall, winter and spring to determine progress for end of level benchmark goals. We will use DIBELS benchmark assessment to measure student reading fluency proficiency.
