Webinar – Running Records – An assessment tool for teachers

Running Records – An assessment tool for teachers

Running Records is an excellent assessment tool developed by Marie Clay, used to determine text difficulty and observe pupil reading behaviours. This assessment technique is useful to teachers of all class grades and those working in SEN who would like to improve their assessment of reading. This will be an interactive webinar and participants will be required to print out some pre-webinar documents in order to participate fully in the session. The webinar will provide a good introduction to Running Records and focus directly on:

• What is a Running Record?
• What is the purpose of a Running Record?
• How to record and score a Running Record
• What reading behaviours can be observed?
