Our Assessment Process
In 2017 we implemented the Indicadores Dinámicos del Éxito en la Lectura (IDEL). It is a research-based formative assessment series of measures designed to assess the basic early literacy skills of children learning to read in Spanish. In 2018, we implemented control group classrooms to compare GLXi curriculum to standard curriculum in primary grade classrooms.
All the IDEL measures are standardized, brief, individually administered, and can be used to regularly monitor the development of early Spanish literacy skills. Both benchmark and progress monitoring testing materials are available as a free download.
The IDEL measures are not a translation of the DIBELS measures. They take into account the linguistic structure of the Spanish language including the phonology, orthography, and syntax. Like DIBELS, the IDEL measures are based on the same theoretical and evidence-based principles of how children learn to read in alphabetic languages such as English and Spanish.
IDEL is a screening tool that includes instructional recommendations and benchmark goals. It provides teachers with information on student skills in the core components of beginning reading including: phonological awareness, the alphabetic principle, accuracy and fluency reading connected text, vocabulary and comprehension.
