"If you want to learn how to assess and interpret young children's
oral reading, this book is your teacher. Johnston's writing is so
refreshing and so explicit, you'll think he is by your side
coaching you to success."

Here is a practical guide for teachers learning how to take
running records of children's oral reading. If you know how to take
running records, you can sit down next to a child who is reading
and with only a blank sheet of paper and a pen you can make a
record of the child's reading strategies. These records can be used
to show growth, reveal problems, and provide a place for
instructional conversations with children or colleagues.
Invented by Marie M. Clay, running records are unquestionably
the most practical reading assessment technique for primary school
teachers. This book and tape provide the most efficient way to
learn how to use them. Peter H. Johnston walks you step by step
through both recording and analysis as you listen to carefully
selected examples of children's reading on the accompanying tape.
This process of "ear-tuning" will change the way you listen to
children read--and the way you respond to their reading.
