Abstract The purpose of this study was to (a) examine the concurrent validity of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) with the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP), and (b) explore the diagnostic accuracy of the DIBELS in predicting CTOPP performance using suggested and alternative cut-scores. Eighty-six students were administered the DIBELS and the CTOPP in the winter of their kindergarten year. Patterns of correlations between the two sets of measures were examined and decision accuracy studies conducted based on suggested cut-scores and cut-scores determined as a result of Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results showed moderate to strong correlations between the DIBELS and the CTOPP suggesting that both measure a similar construct. Analysis of decision accuracy indicated that using the author suggested cut-scores resulted in extremely high sensitivity; however, this was at the expense of an inordinate number of false positives. Follow-up analyses using adjusted cut-scores improved specificity and positive predictive power, reduced false positives, and increased the number of correct classifications sizably.
