DIBELS vs. QRI-5

After doing examples from both the QRI-5 and DIBELS, I have noticed that they are very much alike. Both DIBELS and the QRI-5 is a reading and comprehension assessment which are used to asses the students reading abilities. In DIBELS, you use a software in which it breaks down the pronunciation of words and sounds. It also goes over word recognition, as well as understanding what pictures/words start with a specific sound or letter. Where in the QRI-5 you read passages, answer questions, and re-evaluate the passage that was read. Both are very alike, but there are a few differences in each. Both of these assessments are very useful in helping teachers figure out whether their students are low risk, or high risk readers.
