Analyzing Running Records Darlene Breaux August 20, 2013
Running Records Professional Learning Goals Teachers will learn how to analyze running records to help students move forward and improve on their reading. This session will equip teachers with the skills of understanding the running records they have taken and how to use these records to drive instruction.
Purpose • What is the purpose of conducting a Running Record? • Assessment tool • Document progress • Provide insights into the child’s reading strategies • Plan for future instruction • Find appropriate reading level of student • To guide reading instruction
Teacher & Student Roles during a Running Record • Teacher’s role: Observe student’s reading behaviors while tracking accuracy and errors on separate sheet of paper • Student’s role: Read text independently with minimal assistance from teacher • Remaining students in small group- Read other guided reading books from their familiar reading book bag silently
Tips for Conducting Running Records • Take a RR on the first 100 words or less (Depending on the book level) • Use RR sheet to record information • Administer on text that has only been seen once • Refer to Scoring sheet to get the accuracy rate • 95-100%-Easy, 90-94% Instructional, 89%-Hard • Have a Teaching and Praise Point for each RR • Always analyze Running Records (MSV)
RR during Small Group Instruction • Running Records can be conducted by the teacher at the beginning of small group instruction or in a 1-1 group. • During the RR the other students in the small group are reading different books from their familiar book bags silently or practicing sight words. • Running Records should be conducted at least 1-2 times per month to determine student’s areas of improvement or areas of need.
Running Records Practice • Most Common Types of Running Records • Accurate Reading • Repetition and Substitution • Self Correction • Consolidation: Substitutions, Repetitions, and Self Corrections
