This is a vital exploration of running records - the reliable way to assess text reading - explaining why to use them, how they relate to teaching, and how to administer them.This guide helps teachers record what progress children are making, compare and group children and check how well texts are matched to each child's need for challenge.
The explain of how to conduct and maintain running records is excellent. If you are unsure about running records and want a clear explanation, this is your book. However, I'm a high school reading teacher and this book is geared for elementary students.
