UPDATE: Interim Assessment Name Change

The Dynamic Measurement Group (authors of DIBELS Next) have announced that the name of DIBELS Next has changed to Acadience Reading.  It’s important to note that the content of the assessment will remain the same.  Additionally, the current materials, training, and software provided by Amplify through the Early Literacy Assessment Tool (ELAT) Project will all remain current and usable; this is simply a change in the assessment name.
