Let’s get started! In this unit we’ll get to know the basics of Running Records including who invented them, what they’re used for, and why they are a critical tool in every reading teacher’s toolkit. We’ll also watch a Running Record demonstration with a first grade student – my daughter Natalie!

You’re almost done! Here we’ll take a look at typical Running Record schedules and explain the different types of Running Records teachers use for different purposes.
