Summary This pilot study will examine the word fluency and narrative retell subtests of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic literacy skills (DIBELS) test. The objective of the study is to determine if these subtests are valid and sensitive measures for assessing progress in language intervention in children between grades one through three. The study will be a single-subject design examining behaviors across participants, and comparing the pattern of scores of the control participant to those receiving language treatments. The control participant will be receiving treatment for articulation disorder. Measurements will be taken twice a week after each participant’s treatment session. If it is found that the language subtests of DIBELS are an adequate measure of progress, it may be a good means of measuring language progress in children receiving treatment.
