Review: I've read several books on the topic of Running Records. I found this one to be just okay. In addition to being very brief, I took issue with her statement that one should "Avid the use of a tape-recorder." All the other sources I have read actually encourage this practice, especially with older and struggling readers. In fact, Vacca, Vacca, Gove, Burkey, Lenhart, and McKeon recommend that "To ensure accurate coding, tape-record the student's reading. you can then replay the student's reading to check whether all errors are recorded accurately." They further explain that it can allow the teacher the freedom to watch behaviors more closely, and can assist with documenting student retell. So while Clay calls tape-recording a "crutch," other's see it as an aid when listening and analyzing good readers, who tend to go to fast for the record-taker, and the struggling readers, who tend to make multiple and complex miscues situations. Her theory and suggestions may be good for beginning readers, but would be difficult for others.
