•Running Records help analyze a child’s reading behavior

•When taking a running record, you do not need to use a preprinted copy of the text

•Teacher can use a form or a blank sheet of paper

Accurate Reading

•When a child accurately reads the text, the teacher will use a tick or check to record an accurate response

•The attempt may lead to the correct word or an error

•Counts as one error

correction•SC does not count as an error

mother SC

Remember to record:title

Total MSV at the bottom

Record information regarding directionality, fluency, etc

Record a brief statement about strategies used during reading

As students read, think about:

What strategies do they use?

Are they reading fluently or is the reading choppy?

Can they adjust the rate of reading to ensure they understand?

After a student has read a book, is the student able to answer questions about what they have read?
