When I do a miscue analysis (running record, reading inventory) it is to help drive my instruction. I need to know what the child will do independently. If a child has one of those pleading looks and tries to beg a word, I don't give it. I try to say nothing. I want to know what the child will

Richard (Dick) Allington who has done a lot of research with fluency and is a former IRA president has indicated that we need to be very careful about teaching children to rely on us. Children need lots of word fix-up strategies instead of look at the teacher for a word. Whenever a child looks at

If the oral reading records you're talking about are the same as "running records", I usually have a wait time of about 10-15 seconds (I try to count it in my head). New readers (I've taught K, 1, & 2) need more than a few seconds to figure out unknown words. If it is a word that I think the child

I spend A LOT of time modeling what I expect at the beginning of the year (during the first 6 weeks we will practice these expectations until we can't take it anymore!). This helps tremendously with blurters. But you'll always have one...or one student will be so excited that they just can't h

It really does depend on the age and the kid. I generally warn kids that I want them to 'lock their lips' and keep their thinking inside until they are called on. Using turn and talk as a strategy for answering questions lets everyone get it out quickly. If all else fails, I have been known t

There are several things I do, but ultimately it depends on the kid. I have always had bigger kids, and they usually take to my teasing well. .If I have a good relationship with the kid, I've been known to say real quietly to the blurter, "I KNOW you know. Let's see what the other's know..."
