Video summary (Running records):
I
found these videos to be very helpful in regards to the accurate marks of how
to make a running record. Personally, I have been one to make up my own
markings as I go because I could not always remember the correct ways to mark
the reading. Therefore, this video was very insightful to me. My favorite tip
was when a child sounds out a word, that you write down their initial
sounds/attempts and then once they get the word correct, then you make a
“tick/correct” mark. Previously I may have just circled that work or marked
missed, however, the student deserves the note that he sounded it out and then
correctly figured out the word. Running records are a very important formative
assessment that are so necessary to perform with students whenever necessary.
They allow for the teacher to know what areas a particular student struggles
with and then, the best steps to take to help student. Therefore, these
reminders were helpful because they always remind me of the value of formatively
assessing our students to give them the best learning possible. I enjoyed watching
these videos and feel much more prepared and knowledgeable for the next time I
do a running record with the students in my classroom.
