The NEW Fitzroy Readers Running Records (FRRRs) are a simple and intuitive tool designed to help educators track student reading progress.

FRRRs assess proficiency in reading aloud on three measures: Fluency,  Accuracy and Punctuation.  These are tracked using a simple 1-5 scale, where 1 is 'getting started' and 5 is 'got it'. 

Fluency is the smoothness and speed with which the reader connects sounds, syllables, words and phrases.

Accuracy is a measure of a student's ability to decode and pronounce words correctly. (FRRRs do not require educators to count errors.)

Punctuation is as essential as the words themselves in signalling how text is to be interpreted. This measure on the FRRRs tracks how deftly the student incorporates punctuation into their reading. 

Each level of the Fitzroy Readers Running Records comprises downloadable:

• ‘Student Read Aloud’ sheets, with carefully chosen sentences excerpted from the corresponding Reader, in a matching font size, and including all new sounds and special words presented in that Reader;
• an ‘Individual Student’ record where educators can track the student's reading progress, using the scale described above, for each of the 90 Fitzroy Readers, including space for comments;
• a 'Whole Class' record, providing the teacher with a ready reference of where each student fits within the class, who might benefit from extension or support, as well as areas of explicit instruction to focus on.
  

The FRRRs are adaptable to the specific and evolving requirements of all education settings, and are a valuable addition to your assessment toolkit.
