CBM was developed over 25 years ago at the University of Minnesota and focused on reading, spelling, writing, and math for students in grades 1 through 8. CBM was developed to be efficient, reliable and valid, inform instruction, monitor student growth, and be tied to the curriculum. DIBELS was developed over 10 years ago at the University of Oregon and extended the procedures used in CBM down to early literacy skills in Kindergarten through grade 3. The DIBELS procedures used for Oral Reading Fluency are the same as Passage Reading Fluency in CBM.
