& Grade 1)Nonsense Word Fluency (Kindergarten & Grade
1)Reading-Curriculum Based Measurement

Analyzing Data
Is the child reading fluently? Is the child understanding what they are reading? Are they monitoring what they are reading? Are the self correcting? Are they making sense of what they are reading? Are they thinking about the meaning of the text? Does the text “sound right” when they read it?
These questions guide us skills are put together when we analyze data and help us determine what kind of skills and how to inform our instruction so that students are reading
books at their instructional level.
Taking a Running RecordThe child reads a book or passage aloud.The teacher uses a coding system of
marking conventions to record the students words and actions while reading.
Afterwards the teacher analyzes the running record for types of errors.
Uses of Running RecordsTo place children in appropriate
texts.To note reading behaviors the child
knows and what (s)he needs to learn next.
To keep a record of change over time.
To make critical decisions about a child.
