Procedure for Taking a Running Record • The teacher and the child look at the same text. The teacher codes the behaviors on a separate sheet of paper. The teacher is a neutral observer. • The teacher records accurate reading with a check for each correct word. (if a blank page is used). • If the words in the text are written, accurate reading is not recorded on the words.

Procedure for Taking a Running Record (cont. ) • If a blank page is used, mismatches are recorded with a horizontal line. The child’s responses go above the line. The actual word, in the text, is written below the line. • If the words are typed out, mismatches are recorded above the words.

Scoring • A substituting counts as one error: example “fog” for “frog”. • If multiple attempts at a word are tried, only on error is counted for the word. • Omissions, insertions, and “tolds” count as errors. • Repetitions are not considered as errors. • Running words include all of the words in the book or passage, not counting the title.

Calculating the Accuracy Rate • Subtract the number of errors from the running words. • Divide by the number of running words. • Multiply the answer by 100 to obtain the percentage of the running words read correctly.

Text Gradient Levels • 95% to 100% = Easy Level • 90% to 94% = Instructional Level • 89% and Below = Frustration Level
