The Stroop Effect • Ignore what each word says and just name the color the word is written in as fast as you can… • RED • BLUE • BLACK • GREEN • PURPLE Dunkerly-Bean 2013
WAS THAT HARD? • THE STROOP EFFECT demonstrates that even when we consciously try to ignore words, we can not help but decode them. • Proficient readers find it difficult to ignore the word and just name the color. • Word decoding is so rapid and automatic that it can not be turned off. Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Why Running Records ? • Method of recording students reading behaviors • Can be taken any time on any reading materials • Provides teacher with information that can be analyzed to determine strengths and needs of individual students Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Instructional Purposes for Running Records • Tells us what a student CAN Do with text • Matches student with appropriate text for instruction • Enables flexbible grouping for guided reading • Monitors progress • Development of reading strategies • Helps plan day to day instruction • Shows particular difficulties of each student • Provides reliable documentation of long-term progress hen kept in student portfolio • Prevents “stagnant” instruction/grouping • Provides valuable insights into literacy development Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Accuracy Rates • 95-100% = an easy text, independent • 90-94% = “just right” text for instruction • Below 89% = a difficult text – frustration Dunkerly-Bean 2013

Table of Contents Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Analyzing Errors M = Meaning • If what children read makes sense, even though it is inaccurate, they are usually able to apply their oral language knowledge to their reading. Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Analyzing Errors • S = Structure • Is what the child says grammatically correct? Does their personal ‘grammar’ contain the structures required to read this book? Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Analyzing Errors • V = Visual • Do children use visual cues taken from letters and words? • Note: Visual refers to text, NOT to illustrations, font, etc. Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Meaning Cues • What is happening in the story • Semantics ( linguistics, logic) • Intended meaning is almost the same • Pictures used • “Does it make sense?” Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Structure Cues • Syntax • Not visually similar • A possible English sentence • Takes into account only the text up to and including the error • “Does it sound right?” Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Visual Cues • Graphophonic • Letters and words look alike • High visual similarity • “Does it look right?” Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Self-Corrections • Determine cues used to make errors • Provide teaching point: work on cues not used to cross check • Determine possible cue(s) used in self-correction • Goal: Integration of all 3 cueing systems. Dunkerly-Bean 2013
Analyzing Running Records • Determine… • Appropriateness of text • Cues used or neglected • If cues were integrated • Which strategies were used at the point of difficulty • What needs to be learned/reinforced next Dunkerly-Bean 2013
The “Why” of Running Records • By making errors, readers develop effective procedures for searching, cross-checking and self-correcting. • By analyzing these errors and summarizing the data, teachers plan instruction that directs the reader’s attention to efficient and effective ways of solving problems.
