RUNNING RECORDS
Whilst completing the single days of Professional Experience at St Patricks Primary School, Port Fairy, I had the task of completing a running record on one child in the grade 5/6 classroom. I conducted the running record test on a grade 5 boy, where he read three different texts in order for me to evaluate his reading ability. This was a very effective and useful task, as I was able to successfully conduct an important literacy assessment and identity the reading level in which the child was currently at. I will use the skills in which I developed for this task in my future teaching, as it is always going to be an assessment that is required as part of improving and evaluating the reading skills of each child.
