Lois Our district assessment committee looked at all the available running record kits last summer and decided that Fountas and Pinnell was the best of the group...more tools for less money...we also liked how there was fiction and non-fiction in each level.

Fountas and Pinnell have a wonderful assessment kit. The first one is for K - 2, and then there is one for 3 - 8. We had been using the PM Benchmark kits, but our teachers love the F&P kits because they give a more comprehensive picture. Some of our teachers even use the assessments for reporting to parents, and we have gotten good feedback from this. Our District is now trying to purchase these kits for teachers as the response has been so good. The District is looking to provide training for a couple of teachers in each school on these kits and they will become the 'resident experts' for each school. Our school had already purchased 2 kits for each level, so we have been using them for a couple of years. They do provide a very comprehensive picture of student growth which our teachers like.
