Feb Running Record and Spelling Inventory
As mentioned in our January morning meeting - it's that time of year!
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.
Due Date into the system is March 1st (however you will want to gather data before 3-way conferences).
Next Thursday, Jan 30th, there will be an optional session for support in taking or scoring running records in the
G1/2 Learning Common 3:40-4:15pm. If you are unable to attend but would like some support, please ask your
Learning Leader.
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, Riana L-Z)
- 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)
Recording info:
Access this database link to record running record instructional level and WTW spelling stage. Please do not add additional information into 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 behaviours, MSV miscues and individual notes.
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
- refer to this chart for expectations at this time of year
- add in any new students to the bottom of your list
