Book excerpt: "Running Records for Classroom Teachers explains how to accurately record what children say and do as they read any book, and how teachers can score and interpret these records. When these standard recording and score procedures area used, Running Records provide accurate and reliable assessments of children's reading. Classroom teachers use records of text reading to check how well a text is matched to a child's reading, monitor the progress children are making, and compare and group students in their class. Running Records have been found to be good text reading assessments in many research studies. They provide different information from that obtained from tests of letters, sounds and words in isolation. Teachers find that close observation and recording of students' behaviour informs their understanding of how young children learn to read and allows them to provide appropriate learning opportunities."--Cover.
