Running Record

The child in the video has strengths in his understanding and comprehension which can help him get through any reading difficulty should he have one. His comprehension of what he read was on a high level, and he was even able to summarize the information after, showing that he recognized what was important and was able to explain it in a condensed form. He has background knowledge and used the context to figure out words that were hard to decipher. He also had a good sense of what sounded right, and what made sense. He actually listened and processed what he was reading as he was reading. When he made a mistake, you were able to hear in his voice that he knew it wasn't the right word due to the surrounding words. He also used visual cues to recognize words and say them without even reading, which caused him to make the mistake of saying "must" for "most" or "thought" for "though".

I am curious what age level this student is. He has many skills which will be helpful for his learning in general, and his reading in particular.

Attached is the marked copy of the running record. According to my calculation, the student read 93 correct words, got 7 errors, and self corrected 5 times.
