The development of morphological skills is essential to students’ literacy growth and, hence, to a host of positive student education and academic outcomes. Teachers need a tool that can help them assess students’ strengths and weaknesses in these areas so that they can identify underlying challenges to reading success and design instruction accordingly.
Project DIMES is a study to develop a computer adaptive, diagnostic assessment of teachable morphological skills for students in Grades 3 to 5. Our assessment will help teachers identify certain skills within morphological awareness that can support literacy skills. Also, while Project DIMES is focused on providing teachers with this much needed assessment, the assessment is also intended to fill a large gap in reading research, in which evaluating the effectiveness of reading interventions requires diagnostic assessments such as this one.
