A running record is an assessment tool which provides an insight into a student's reading as it is happening. A running record is beneficial for teachers as it can determine what each child needs based on their performance. This allows for students and teachers to assess a plan to help aid the student based on results. I think this is a great tool for students to be able to grow and develop within their reading skills based on their needs.

A running record is a great way to keep track of a student's reading level as well as too see what mistakes they are making as well as areas they are doing well. These are often sheets that can be used to write down if a student is replacing words, self-correcting, repeating unknown areas of text. This also provides a great assessment sheet to show parents when they come in.

Running records can be used for a variety of reasons to produce a lot of valuable information for teachers that can inform instructional decisions. Running records are comprehensive and can provide information of reading accuracy and errors made by students while reading. Teachers can determine why these errors are happening. Teachers can learn about what kinds of cues are being violated or used correctly when decoding. Running records can also assess a reader's comprehension. Teachers can calculate the accuracy of a students' reading and keep notes on common errors children might be making consistently. Teachers can use running records to place students into reading groups based on needs, provide next-step feedback for students, and to implement intervention strategies for students according to individual needs.

Everyone has done such a thorough job of explaining running records!  I like that Shayla pointed out you can assess how a student is monitoring their own reading.  Kodi says that it is going on 'as a it (reading) is happening.  I think running records are a great way to take the time and truly get a feel for how the student is doing.  So many times we have a hundred things going on at once and may miss something we can easily help the student with.  Running records give us a chance to get a quick, thorough picture of how the student is progress. It is a good way to decide on mini lessons, small group, or whole group lessons that need to happen.

Running records are used for multiple reasons. They help teachers measure students' progress, plan for future instruction, provide a way for students to understand and follow their progress, as well as communicating progress to parents and school faculty. There is a lot of information that these assessments can give to teachers about individual students. You are able to see the different areas/skills students are struggling with as well as excelling at.

Running records are used to help teachers observe and record how young students read and how they move through the reading by themselves. This allows the teacher to see if the student is able to self-correct themselves while reading. There are many errors and corrections that students may make while reading and the teacher is looking to see if they can correct themselves before asking for help.

Teachers use a running record to provide information on a student's reading as it is happening. These also allow teachers to understand where their student may need extra help in and where they may excel.

Running records allow teachers to observe how students monitor their own reading. Running records allow a teacher to see patterns in the student’s miscues that could signal to the teacher that a student is relying too heavily on one cueing system. The teacher could then focus on helping students to use the cueing system or systems that are lacking. The way a student approaches difficult words can also help provide the teacher with valuable information about strategies the student make be lacking.

A running record is used to assess a child's reading as it occurs. It measures accuracy, errors, self-correction, and strategies used.
It can also be used as a self-reflection as a teacher. Is the student using what you are teaching?

We use running records to have one on one time with students. It is a good way to listen to a student and see what they are struggling with. If a student is only having trouble with /o/ sounds and different sounds /O/ can make with other letters a teacher would be able to see that during a running record and could help a student with that. It is also a way to check for fluency, comprehension and decoding skills.
