E70 In today's episode, I discuss informal running records (reading records). Our school expects us to formally assess reading three times a year by using Fountas and Pinnell, and I used to formally assess as well whenever I suspected a student had moved up a level. However, now we are being advised to only perform a formal reading record in between our formal report out times. Listen to find out the difference between the two assessments, and how you can use them in your classroom as well.  Contact: Twitter: @TamiJ123 Podcast show notes & to listen online: Time to Teach Website Links Time to Teach Facebook Page Teachers For Effective Curriculum Facebook Group  (Facebook Group) My Blog: Notes From A First Grade Classroom Music Credits: Adventures by A Himitsu @a-himitsu Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
