Websites for Read Aloud Books
Kids love to hear stories - ask any child and I'll bet they tell you that one of their favorite parts of their day is read-aloud and storytime! Listening to a book helps kids to develop better concentration and listening skills, engages their imagination, increases their vocabulary and enhances their desire to be a reader as they grow. I love to encourage parents to read to their child each day. That 15 minutes of storytime has so many wonderful benefits! In addition to parent/child read-aloud time, families can also include online read alouds and audio books as part of their child's literacy activities. These online books can really help to increase the time your kids spend reading and being read to -- use them in the car when your running errands or in the evening while while you're preparing dinner. We've found some wonderful websites that offer stellar books which are read aloud to your child. And a BIG bonus is that they are all FREE! , A Bad Case of Stripes , and The Polar Express

Running Records
What is a Running Record? Taking a Running Record Marking a Running Record Scoring and Analyzing a Running Record What is a Running Record? A running record allows you to assess a student's reading performance as she/he reads from a benchmark book. Benchmark books are books selected for running record assessment purposes. A running record form, with text from the book printed on the form, accompanies each of the benchmark books. There are conflicting views on whether students should be assessed using a book they have never read versus using a book they are familiar with. After completing a running record, you may want to assess a student's comprehension of the book read. Taking a Running Record Running records are taken most often at the earlier stages of reading. Early Emergent readers (Levels aa – C): every 2 to 4 weeks Emergent readers (Levels D – J): every 4 to 6 weeks Early fluent readers (Levels K – P): every 6 to 8 weeks Fluent readers (Levels Q – Z): every 8 to 10 weeks
