Why do a Running Record/ Record of Oral Reading?Summarize a reader’s
understanding of written language
Identify student’s strengths and weaknesses
Identify a reading level Monitor student’s progressPinpoint and make decisions
about grouping and teaching
Accurate Reading
Accurate reading is recorded with a check mark for each correct word.
The dog ran down the street.
No Errors
Substitutions
Substitutions are recorded with what the reader says on top and the correct word on the bottom.
cat dog
The dog ran down the street.
Substitution = 1 Error
Repetitions
Repetitions are a recording of words or phrases repeated.A line is drawn above what is repeated with the letter “R” placed at the point where the child stopped to go back and repeat.
__________ R
The dog ran down the street.
No Error
Self Corrections
Self corrections occur when a previous error is correct. This is written as SC (self-correction).
cat |SC dog|
The dog ran down the street.
No Error
Omissions
If no response is given to a word, it is recorded with a dash over the word omitted.
- down
The dog ran down the street.
Omission=1 Error
Insertions
If an extra response is given, it is record over a dash.
big -
The dog ran down the street.
Insertions=1 Error
If the child balks, unable to proceed because he is aware he has made an error or cannot not attempt, he is told the word-written T.
dig | or - | down | T ran | T
The dog ran down the street.
Told = 1 Error
Told
AppealsAn appeal for help from the child is turned back to the child for further effort before using T. (say “try it”)
- | A| or - | A| run down| | T ran
| |
The dog ran down the street.
Appeal = 1 Error if wrong answer or T given
Try That Again
Sometimes the child gets into a state of confusion and it is necessary to assist. Put brackets around the first words that caused confusion and , enter the TTA, then begin a fresh record of the problem text.
Then run dust that TTA =1 Error The ran down the
run ran The dog ran down the street. One Error
Sometimes students decode words in ways that are not natural or fluent.
d/o/g
The dog ran down the street.
Sounding Out
Reversals Sometimes kids read words and in the
process reverse the words.
The god ran down the street.
dog
This is counted as an error
Let’s Practice doing a Running Record
Quick Tips for Oral Reading
Substitution Error
Repetition Not an error
Self-correction Not an error
Omission Error
Insertion Error
Reversal Error
Sounding Out **Error if sounded out incorrectly
Teacher Told Word
Error
Long Pauses Not an error
Names Error only once
Recording Fluency
Not an error
Practice Running Records…• Group practice: Item
• Group Practice 2: Item 9
• Group Practice 3: All conventions
Analyzing errors and Self-corrections Consider the behavior up to the
point of error Self-corrections –what did the
student use to automatically correct the error
Analyze errors first and then the self-correction
What did the student use: meaning, syntax or visual information
Sources of information Meaning/Semantics
◦ Uses pictures or illustrations◦ Background knowledge◦ At word, phrase sentence level
Structure/Syntax◦ Does it sound right/could you say that way◦ Tense agreement◦ Story structures
Visual◦ Does it look right?◦ Used initial, medial, end ◦ Clusters, chunks◦ One to one

Data is Key….
You cannot personalize learning without data.
