Running Records - Your Map to Instruction
2
As you administer a running record, ask yourself questions
such as:
3
How quickly are the
children learning?
What are they
noticing as they
read?
How fluent is their
processing on
particular tasks?
Progress
Behaviors
Fluency
Transfer
4
Do they use their
knowledge, skills,
and strategies in
different contexts?
5
The prime purpose of a Running Record
is to understand more about how
children are using what they know to get
to the messages of text, or in other
words what reading processes they are
using.

“If there is a single task that stands up
better than any other it is the
Running Record
of text reading.
“This is a neutral observation task,
capable of use in any system of
reading, and recording progress on
whatever gradient of text difficulty
has been adopted by the education
system.”
Purpose of Running RecordTracking
Placement
Monitoring
Text Level
To decide what text is
appropriate instructional
level for an individual.
To capture reading
behaviors which can
be analyzed later. To help in
the
placement
of children.
To keep record of
changes over time.
