February Running Record Data

Running Record Data for February

 KB- G5 teachers,

In order to best consider our community of readers, we ask that a formal running record be taken and recorded by the end of February for any student reading at or below the grade level benchmarks. Please feel free to use data collected in January to inform report writing. You are not required to record data for students reading above these benchmarks, but feel free to do so. The following chart can be used as a reference:  

KB -      PM level 4        F&P level C/D

1st -      PM level 12       F&P level G

2nd -     PM level 20       F&P level K

3rd -      PM level 24       F&P level O

4th -      PM level 27       F&P level R

5th -      PM level 29       F&P level T

Note of caution: benchmarks can be useful at a macro-level, however individual student focus is on appropriate progress over time.

We are looking for a few teachers ( 1 upper primary and 1 lower primary) to trial the Fountas and Pinnell kits.  A correlation chart will be used for the data. Please contact Kim if interested.

 Important: Running record data should be put into the Running Record spreadsheet  2015/16 for students requiring a running record to be documented.

**If you would like a refresher on any aspects of collecting and recording this data, please send me (Kim) a quick message and I would be more than happy to come and see you.
