Dibels in comparison with the QRI-5

These two fall under the category of assessments but they differ from each other in various ways. DIBELS focus more on the different areas of reading, such as fluency, language, sound recognition, etc. The DIBELS is one that is technical when it come to time. There are sixty second intervals that make time more definite. The fast pace of this assessment makes tha grading a little confusing. The plus side of this is that it is technologically advanced because it can be done in pom-pilot which is nice. There are different activities as well which are geared towards the individual student. The QRI-5 is something that I feel that I can use because it doesn't go directly to the student's level usually but starts two levels below the grade level. This boosts up the student's confidence and starts off well. QRI-5 focuses on the reading comprehension. The scoring is a lot simpler and time is not a big concern. It has a set format, that makes it easier to assess students.
