Analyzing Running Records and Cues

Arlene Scott, an elementary English language arts consultant, explains how to analyze running records, focusing on students' reading behavior. The video covers the use of meaning, structural, and visual cues in reading, and how to score errors and self-corrections. It emphasizes the importance of understanding cueing systems and provides guidance on analyzing reading behavior to improve student achievement.

What is the primary focus of the video on Running Records?

• How to write a running record

• How to conduct a running record

• How to analyze running records

• How to teach reading to children

Which of the following is NOT a basic concept needed for children to learn to read?

• Knowledge of advanced grammar rules

• Ability to visually attend to printed text

• Understanding that print carries a message

What are the three cueing systems used in reading according to Marie Clay?

• Phonetic, Semantic, Syntactic

• Meaning, Structural, Visual

• Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic

• Semantic, Syntactic, Phonetic

In the meaning cueing system, what question does it answer?

• Does it make sense?

• Is it grammatically correct?

• Does it sound right?

• Does it look right?

Which example demonstrates the use of structural cues?

• Reading 'houses' instead of 'horses'

• Reading 'fly' instead of 'see'

• Reading 'hears' instead of 'horses'

• Reading 'ponies' instead of 'horses'

What does the visual cueing system focus on?

• The meaning of the text

• The context of the story

• The structure of the sentence

• The appearance of letters and words

When analyzing running records, what is important to determine?

• The student's favorite book

• What cues were used during errors and self-corrections

• The student's reading speed

• The student's handwriting style

How is the self-correction rate calculated?

• By dividing the number of errors by the number of self-corrections

• By subtracting the number of self-corrections from errors

• By adding the number of errors and self-corrections and dividing by errors

• By adding the number of errors and self-corrections and dividing by self-corrections

What does a high self-correction rate indicate?

• Strong comprehension skills

• Good handwriting

• Weak comprehension skills

• Fast reading speed
