Running Records
Running Records allow you to assess reading behavior as students read
from developmentally appropriate texts.
The information gathered while doing an online running record is used to
determine error, accuracy, and self-correction rates.
They are used most often at the earlier stages of reading to monitor
reading behavior and progress.
Use the three-part assessment process at the beginning of the school
year to place students into appropriate texts, and use the process
throughout the year to monitor students' progress.
Students who are not progressing at the expected rate should be
assessed even more frequently than the Assessment Schedule suggests.
Running Records
Part 1
Select a student and a Benchmark Passage or Benchmark Book that best
approximates a student's reading level.
The next time a student logs into Raz-Kids, they will see the assessment they have
been assigned and the student submits the recordings to your In Basket.
Part 2
While listening to the recording of your student, indicate a mistake by clicking the
text at the point of an error and selecting the types of error from the menu.
You can select more than one error by clicking on the word again and indicating
a second error.
Part 3
The Running Record Scorecard formulas are automatically calculated based on
recording length and errors you have marked.
