Feb Running Record and Spelling Inventory

Welcome to February!

In preparation for 3-way conferences and regrouping students for reading and word study, a running record and updated WTW spelling inventory will be given for each child.

Note that 1) Use Fountas and Pinnell system 2) It is a non-fiction text and 3) every student is given the running
record.

Due Date into the system is March 1st (this info may be beneficial for 3-way conferences)

Please approach Karen, Kris or Kim if you have any questions about the kits, process, or how to use the
data.
Reminders:

• instructional level is recorded (take multiple running records if needed to find instructional

level- conversion chart taped to each box)

• refer to information files in assessment box for reminders on scoring, coding, and finding instructional levels
• see Learning Leaders if you require books outside of your grade level (Trevor A-N, Kim L-Z)

Recording info:
Please access this database link to record running record instructional level and WTW spelling stage.  
Please do not add additional information to the cells, as it is exported to another system. However feel
free to make a copy of your grade level after completing the info if you wish to include your own
data such as reading
behaviors, MSV miscues, and individual notes. Add in any new students to the bottom of your list.

Logistics:

• let us know if you need a space reserved for taking running records

• please ask EAL and LS teachers to help out

• Refrain from coaching into any of these testing materials as it interferes with validity

It is possible students were moved back in levels due to rigour of comprehension required in new

assessment kits

can refer to chart for a benchmark at this time of year for your grade level

Fountas and Pinnell running record data and Spelling data will be collected for every student 3 times a
year Oct (Fiction), Feb (non-Fiction), May (Fiction).
