<title>Message from User 490448</title>
<description><![CDATA[I have the same issue! Someone is pushing for the DIBELS assessment over Fountas and Pinnell for our school. I have been trying to explain that they are completely different animals. I would love to find some research on the F&P benchmark assessment system.  But what would that research actually be about? Because you can't actually show reading growth just by looking at an assessment... it would have to be a study linking assessment to effective instruction and student growth. Help, please.  Anyone? <br/><br/>thank you!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Our Intermediate school district is telling us that running records are not research based assessments and that the interventions we use from the F&P Phonics books (sorting, high frequency word activities, etc) are not research based. They want us to do Language! interventions. They would love to see us move from balanced literacy to a basal reading program for our core curriculum. Help! <br/>I have asked for their source of "research based" interventions and have not seen it yet.<br/>Thank you in advance for any information you can give me to support the best practices we use.]]></description>
