    Running Records
    on Raz-Plus

    With our online running record tool, Raz-Plus or Raz-Kids members can:

    • Assign a Benchmark Book from Levels aa-J
    • Assign a Benchmark Passage from Levels aa-Z2
    • Listen to students' recordings from reading aloud a book or passage.
    • Score all student recordings using an online running-record tool.
    • Listen to students' recordings of retellings.
    • Score retellings using an online rubric.
    • See quiz questions missed and a report on which comprehension skills to support or re-teach with each student.
    • Reward students' progress through awarding stars to spend in the RAZ Rocket.
    • Track your students' progress over time.

    Reading A-Z provides a three-part assessment process to help you place students in instructionally appropriate level texts.

    • Find out at which level to start a student.
    • Determine when a student is ready to move to the next level.

    Part 1: Students read Benchmark Passages or Benchmark Books (Levels aa-J), and you capture their reading behavior on Running Records.

    Part 2: Students retell the text, and you use Retelling Rubrics to score their comprehension.

    Part 3: Students take an oral or written Comprehension Quick Check Quiz, and each question's answer tells what skill it assessed to help you identify comprehension skills for additional practice.

    Part 1: Start with Benchmark Passages & Running Records or Benchmark Books & Running Records (Levels aa-J). Select a passage or book that best approximates a student's reading level. Use the running records that accompany each passage or book to score a student's reading behavior. (Initially you may have to take more than one running record to determine a student's instructional level.) To assess a student's instructional level in Spanish, use printable versions of the Spanish Benchmark Passages, or Pasajes estándar.

    Review About Running Records to learn about the details of taking, marking and scoring a running record.

    Parts 2 & 3: Retelling Rubrics and Comprehension Quick Check Quizzes provide details about a student's understanding and comprehension of the Benchmark Passage or Book.

    • Retelling Rubrics provide details that identify strengths and weaknesses students might have comprehending fiction or nonfiction texts; including analysis of text structures.
    • Benchmark Passages and Benchmark Books (Levels aa-J) have multiple-choice Comprehension Quick Check Quizzes and answer keys. Use the skill tags on the answer key to see comprehension strengths and opportunities for additional instruction.

    The three-part process establishes a baseline of your students' levels. Assign leveled books from Reading A-Z's extensive collection for small group practice at students' instructional levels. Allow students to choose books below their instructional levels for independent practice.

    How Do I Monitor Students' Reading Progress?
    Use Benchmark Books or Benchmark Passages and their associated resources for progress monitoring as students' reading at their instructional levels improves.

    Assessment Schedule

    Developmental Level Reading Level Schedule
    Beginning readers Levels aa-C every 2 to 4 weeks
    Developing readers Levels D-J every 4 to 6 weeks
    Effective readers Levels K-P every 6 to 8 weeks
    Automatic readers Levels Q-Z every 8 to 10 weeks

    Students who are not progressing at the expected rate should be assessed even more frequently than the Assessment Schedule suggests.

    The scores your students achieve on running records, retellings, and comprehension quizzes give you valuable information about their reading behavior and comprehension. Use it to inform your instruction in addition to placing students and monitoring their progress.

    Use the chart below along with the other information you learn from the three-part assessment process to determine if students are ready to move up a level.

    Scores

    Running Record Quick Check Comprehension Quiz Action
    95% + 100% Advance Student a Level
    95% + 80% Instruct at this Level
    95% + Lower a Level, Assess Again
    90-94% 80-100% Instruct at this Level
    90-94% Lower a Level, Assess Again
    N/A Lower a Level, Assess Again

    For Raz-Plus members, results from the printable running records can be entered to display in a student's Reading Rate report in your Kids A-Z management hub. That way, you have not only the digital running records and assessment information, but also the results from printable running records—all in one place.

    How Do I Match Learning A-Z Levels to Other Leveling Systems?
    For your convenience, Learning A-Z correlates its levels to other leveling systems. If you've already placed students in levels according to another system, please reference the Level Correlation Chart to determine how another system's levels best match Learning A-Z's levels.

    The correlations are not official levels assigned by the other leveling systems, but rather an approximate correlation based on a comparison of attributes in books assigned official levels by both the other leveling system and Learning A-Z.
