RtI – Response to Intervention (RTI): What Teachers of Reading Need to Know by Eric M. Mesmer, Heidi Anne E. Mesmer – from IRA’s The Reading Teacher

The purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships and predictiveness of kindergarten early literacy indicators from the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) within the context of a path analysis. The results support the validity of kindergarten DIBELS in predicting ever more complex reading skills in a developmental progression from the middle of kindergarten to second grade.
