What is the child’s word reading and fluency? Or, can they read smoothly and accurately? (Get our free fluency posters here.).

Here’s a sample running records assessment schedule from Learning A–Z.įor any text that a child reads, running records help you answer these questions:

Essentially, students who are learning the fundamentals are assessed more often than students who are working on fluency and higher-order comprehension. An emergent reader (using Reading A to Z levels aa–C, for example) will be assessed every two to four weeks, while a fluent reader (level Q–Z) should be assessed every eight to 10 weeks. Once you do the first running record, the time in between running records will depend on how well the child is progressing and what level they are reading. Then, you can use subsequent running records to track the student’s progress. At the start of the year, or when you start working with a student, a running record can help match the student with books that are right for them. A running record captures both how well a student reads (the number of words they read correctly) and their reading behaviors (what they say and do as they read). Running records are used to collect information on young readers who are still reading aloud and working on basic skills (think: those who are at reading levels aa–J).

Thinking about instruction, when you combine a running record with some analysis, you can address student mistakes and plan their next steps. The goal of a running record is, first, to see how the student is using the strategies you’re teaching in class, and second, to find out if the student is ready to advance in a reading-level system if your school uses one (Reading A to Z, Fountas and Pinnell, and others). They’re part read aloud assessment (think: fluency assessment) and part observation. Running records fall under the reading assessments portion of your readers’ workshop. But what are running records, and how do they help you teach reading? Never fear, WeAreTeachers is here to explain it all. Chances are, if you teach the primary grades, you have to do running records.
