The book to be used in the running record sheet is entitled Hello Children: Reading A to Z. The book A to Z is of aa level.

The formula is;
((Running Words –Total Errors) ÷ Running Word) × 100
((362-22)/362)× 100
=93.9%
Percentage accuracy of 93.9% shows that this is best for Instructional level for use in leveled reading session.

Self-Correction rate

((Total error + total self-correction) ÷total self-correction)× 100
(22-4)/4
= 1:4.5
4.5 rounded to the nearest whole number it becomes 5, hence the ratio becomes
= 1:5

Error Rate

Is calculated by dividing total words with the total error:
(Total words) ÷ (total error) = Error Continue reading...
