Running Records
Beyond Accuracy
Running Records
Running records are much more than an accuracy tool. They are a tool that teachers use to observe closely the reading behaviors of their students.
Running Records
Running records of oral reading are basically a vehicle for error analysis. The teacher must engage in the imaginative challenge of figuring out the logic of error. The most useful aspect of errors is that people do not make them randomly. There is always a reason for them. If you can figure out the reason, then your know where best to use your instructional expertise and how to avoid confusing the student. (Johnston, 2000)
Standard Procedures
If a teacher claims that a child read a text with a certain level of accuracy, we need to be assured that this had been obtained according to common practice. If this is not true then calculations and comparisons do not have any meaning. (Marie Clay, 2002)
Conventions
Child = What child says Text What is in the text
RR Scoring Conventions
• Correct word (correct)
• Substitution mad (error)

• Attempts m/maa/m-d(error)

RR Scoring Conventions
• Repetition R(no error)
• Omission _−−−_

RR Scoring Conventions
• Self correction mad /make/ SC(no error)

Accuracy Rates
Teachers College Reading and Writing ProjectLevels A-K & Levels L-Z
• 96%-100% - Easy (Independent Reading
Level)• 90%-95% - Scaffolded Instruction Level (Books
for small group work)• Below 90% TOO DIFFICULT (Frustration Level)
Teachers College Reading and Writing Project
Levels A-K & Levels L-Z
Three factors should be check when assessing a reader (Allington 2001):
①Accuracy and self corrections②Comprehension③Fluency
Reading A-Z
Reading Recovery
95% + Independent Level
90%-94% Instructional Level
Below 90% Frustration Level
Reading Recovery
Above 90% - Good opportunities for
teachers to observe children’s processing of texts.
Below 90% - The Reader tends to lose the support of the meaning of the text.
DRA Levels
95%-100% Independent Level
90%-94% Instructional Level
Analysis of Errors
Meaning (M) – Does it make sense?
Syntax (S) – Can we say it like that?
Visual (V) – Does it look right?
Other Considerations
• Pronunciation - Is the child a language learner?
• 100+ words
• Comprehension
• Fluency
