Analyzing Running Record

According to the Running Record I have taken of the student GItty Bochner, her strength lies in the fact that she reads quickly and fluently. Gitty seemed to be running through the sentences, with only some mistakes mainly based on pronouncing words incorrectly. Gitty's strength though, although createds her weakness, which is that she reads too fast and is reluctant to slow down. She doesn't seem to focus on comprehension at all. In addition to the obvious issue of not comprehending what she is reading, Gitty's mistakes in reading hardly get self-corrected even if the word doesn't make sense in regard to the sentence she is reading. This is because she is more focused on reading and getting done quickly, then she is on focusing on the text and what it is conveying. Gitty would benefit greatly from learning to comprehend what she is reading, and on focusing on each word to make sure it is read correctly. Her visual mistakes are a result of her quick reading and her lack of focus. Gitty would need a teacher to focus on the actual stories and texts that she is reading, and its' meanings. That would also help her to avoid making mistakes that are due to lack of focus, comprehension, and patience.

  1. The student might benefit from a graphic organizer that asks for details of the story or asks for the description of the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
