<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center"> In order for teachers to assess a child's reading, a running record can be used. A running record is when a teacher spends a couple of minutes with a child (normally during guided reading) listening to child read. As the child reads the teacher who has a copy of all of the words that the child is to read and records what words the student gets right, which words the child gets wrong (the word that the child said instead is recorded), if the child went make and self corrected themselves (this is a sign of a good reader), and also records which word the child skips or needs to be told. Table 1 is am example of the running record symbols and marking conventions <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center; display: block"> = **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center; display: block"> <span style="color: rgb(221, 19, 196)">S <span style="color: rgb(182, 188, 47)">o <span style="color: rgb(52, 118, 203)">m <span style="color: rgb(68, 236, 50)">e <span style="color: rgb(146, 37, 228)">t <span style="color: rgb(195, 34, 34)">h <span style="color: rgb(69, 217, 180)">i <span style="color: rgb(214, 126, 31)">n <span style="color: rgb(217, 74, 193)">g <span style="color: rgb(213, 194, 26)">E <span style="color: rgb(46, 89, 163)">x <span style="color: rgb(58, 190, 30)">t <span style="color: rgb(90, 31, 152)">r <span style="color: rgb(247, 8, 8)">a    ** =
