Think back on your experience in elementary school to recall how your school achievements were displayed.
Write how you can use what you learned in the video in your classroom when you start teaching. (Paragraph 3)
Running Record Assessment Exercise
Conduct a running-record assessment with one child (two different books or passages).
Analyze the running-record assessments and calculate accuracy rate.
Write a report for the running-record assessment that includes the original running record, calculations, your conclusions, and recommendations tor appropriate reading levels for the child.
A running record is a tool that assists teachers to recognize patterns in student reading behaviors. These patterns allow teachers to develop targeted reading sty utegies for individual learners. Running records are a diagnostic tool that should be used to develop instructional techniques.
Running records should be administered during typical reading time activities. The perfect time to administer a running record is when a child is reading, and a teacher can sit beside a student, and with a Wank running record, begin to administer the assessment.
Find the instructional level that challenges a student, but not so much that he or she is frustrated.
1. Instructional. This is a text that the child reads with between 90-94 percent accuracy and it can be used to teach the student to extend their reading skiiis.
2. Independent. Sometimes this level is labeled easy because the accuracy level is above 94 percent. The student can read without teacher support.
3. Frustration. A child’s frustration or hard reading level is determined when the student’s accuracy rate is below 90 percent.
