  1. Taking Running Records Reference: Marie M Clay: An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement Second Edition.(2002) Chapter 5 pp 49-81

  2. What is a Running Record? • It is the most important task for assessing text reading • A child’s reading is calculated on a piece of text; looking at their successes and their errors • It shows what strategies they are using and ignoring when they are reading • Competence at being fast, fluent and phrased • A score is determined as a percentage of the words correct

  3. Uses of Running Records •     Finding the appropriate book level for a child •    Grouping your children for guided reading groups •      Evaluate whether their has been a lift in text level • Monitor what a child is actually doing while they are reading

  4. Conventions

  5. Analysis For any occurrences of error behaviour or self correction …. Try to work out whether the child was using information from: • The meaning of the text (M) • The structure of the sentence (S) • Sometimes from the visual cues (V) To explain the error consider the behaviour up to the point of the error To explain self-correction consider what led the child to spontaneously correct the error (An observation Survey, pages 69-70)

  6. Calculations • Error Rate: Running Words Errors e.g. 150 = Ratio 1: 10 15 Accuracy 90% • Self-Correction Rate E=SC e.g. 15+5 = Ratio 1:4 SC 5 ( An Observation Survey page 66)

  7. Running Record Scoring • Easy- any score over 95% • Instructional- 94 to 90% • Hard- 89% and below

  8. How does the reading sound? • At the end of running record, write down how it sounded • Easy: Fast fluent phrased. Some intonation • Instructional: Some phrasing, varing pace, some intonation • Hard: Word by word, ignoring punctuation, laboured, ignoring meaning

  9. When do you do running records? • Emergent readers every 2-4 weeks • Emerging: 4-6 weeks • Competent: once a term • Strugglers: Fortnightly
