This was my first time taking a running record and I think it is a very accurate way of assessing
a students reading level. The running record showed that the student had a 95% accuracy rate reading Whales and Fish. She made a mistake for one out of every 20 words she read. She corrected herself one out of every 3 mistakes she made. She read nicely and paused a few times to think of the correct word. There was a point that she lost her place, so I would encourage her to point with her finger when reading. In all the student read fluently and made it seem easy for her.
When asked to tell over what she just read she was able to recall the story and explain the differences
between fish and whales and also their similarities. She remembered small details about the different way they are born, get their food and where they have their fins. This showed she comprehended what she just read and was able to tell it over.
