Running Record Demo and Practice Run

Yesterday I was given a demonstration of how to do a running record.  It was informative, but a bit overwhelming.  I'm not quite yet confident with what comments to write, and how to use the information, but I'm more confident with some things.  At least I know where to get the books and the records - that's a start right?

I did attempt two today, at the end of the day.  Not an ideal situation.  Nor was it wise to take two of my lower students.  They both struggled a bit and were almost at 90% accuracy - which means they weren't on the right level.  Both of them will likely have to go down a level now, but I've got to get clarification as to a) is that a good idea and b) if I need to test them at that lower level.

Still a bit of a mystery to me at the moment, but I'm slowly wrapping my head around the concept.  I figure if I get through this round of testing, I'll have a better idea of what to expect (from the students) next time, rather than trying to make judgements on the total of 3 running records I've seen done or done myself.
