Benchmark Reading Goals
Acadience® Reading Survey, previously published as DIBELS Next® Survey, is a set of testing materials administered to students who have not reached benchmark goals.

- Supports educators in identifying appropriate and ambitious goals that lead to accelerated student performance
Administer Student Surveying with Ease and Efficiency
Acadience Reading Survey minimizes taking important teaching time away from educators as it:
- Ensures no time is wasted by progress monitoring too high or too low
- Accurately identifies the level of materials needed for progress monitoring

Who Benefits from Acadience Reading Survey?
Acadience Reading Survey benefits students, and teachers of those students, who may require off-grade-level progress monitoring to accurately measure academic growth. For students with below-grade-level reading skills, it is critical to their appropriate level to gauge their growth during the school year.
