Running Records
Program for Students
Use your running records to choose books for students that are at their instructional reading level.
Standard Notations
Use your notations to see which cueing systems the student uses. Plan next steps for the student. If a student relies on visual cue -prompt for meaning.
Analyze Errors & Self-Corrections
A percentage rate is assigned based on the ratio of errors to self-corrections. This leads to determining the correct instructional texts for students.
