Fillable Record For Free

One example of a running record would be if the text reads "The cow jumped over the moon," and the student read "The car jumped over the fence," then the student made two errors out of six words. The teacher would record a checkmark, the word car, two more checkmarks, and the word fence on the running record form.

Place a check mark above each word that is read correctly. If the child reads incorrectly, record above the word what the child reads. If the child is reading too fast for you to record the running record, ask him or her to pause until you catch up. Be sure to pay attention to the reader's behavior as he or she reads.

A running record is a detailed, objective, sequential recording written while the event is happening. It is generally short, often only 10 minutes or less. The observer writes down everything possible that the child says and does during a specified length of time or during a designated activity.

To take a Running Record, sit beside a child as he or she reads a selected portion of the text aloud in a natural and relaxed environment. It is necessary to select a time when you can hear the child read without interruptions, such as when children are engaged in quiet reading or on independent literacy activities.

A running record assesses what a student knows and understands about the reading process. It also captures thinking, as demonstrated through reading behaviors such as the use of structural and visual cues. A running record records what a student says when asked to read a text of about 100 words.

A Running Record is a tool for coding, scoring and analysing a child's precise reading behaviours. The collection of Running Records provides an effective resource for analysing and reflecting on the teaching and learning in schools. Running Records are designed to be taken on any text as a child reads orally.
