[LM_NET] Survey: Reading Comprehension and DIBELS Testing

[N2Books <N2Books@CABLEONE.NET>]

Has anyone who does Dibels testing noticed a drop in reading comprehension since 
the focus of the Dibels was on reading quickly for so long?

Now the Dibels has a retelling component, but it didn't start out that way.  Some 
of our teachers are saying that the kids can read quickly but their comprehension 
is not as strong as it used to be.

I am interested in your comments.
