Every effective reading intervention, no matter which of the five core areas of reading it is designed for, needs to be efficiently monitored. Data should be collected by the school psychologist in order to monitor the student's progress throughout the course of the intervention.These two websites, created by the University of Oregon, provide reading probes that can be used routinely during a reading intervention to collect data.
EasyCBM provides school psychologists with several types of early reading probes. The materials can be accessed for free by visiting the demo account or by registering with the site for free. Available measures include Phoneme Segmentation, Letter Naming Fluency, Letter Sound Fluency, Nonsense Word Fluency, and Word Identification Fluency. The picture below depicts a sample reading probe obtained from this website.
The DIBELS website provides materials for administering and scoring a range of early reading skills. Again, materials on this website are free with registration. Available measures include Initial Sound Fluency, Phoneme Segmentation, Letter Naming Fluency, and Nonsense Word Fluency.
