How Do I Monitor My Students' Progress?
In order to monitor your students' progress you should be completing Running Records. A running record is a method of assessing reading that can be done quickly and frequently. It is an individually conducted formative assessment, which is ongoing and curriculum based. It provides a graphic representation of a student's oral reading, identifying patterns of effective and ineffective strategy use.
In order to calculate a record you need to divide the total number of words the child read correctly by the total number of words they read (we count the following miscues as errors: substitutions, reversals, mispronunciations, omissions, long pauses, insertions)
How Should I Group My Students?
Guided Reading groups are assigned a color and students are called to meet with the teacher during literacy stations or centers. Students are grouped based on similar levels of development. The texts used in the lessons are matched to each group's unique needs. You should be meeting with each group based on their needs as well (refer to tables below).
