The two examples below show how the teacher has taken running record notations, conferred with the child based on her observations from the running record, and finally how the child shares what she or he has learned from the teaching point.  For a tutorial on taking, scoring, and analyzing running records, see Instructional Decision Making Section of the Guided Reading Module on this website. For additional examples of taking, analyzing and using running records during conferring, see Focus on Fluency.
