This product is designed for those teachers who need a little additional practice taking running records.  It will help them perfect their ability to listen to what the student reads and how to mark conventions quickly and accurately.  Self Practice is also a perfect follow up or refresher for someone who has not taken running records in a while. 

The audio CD allows for authentic practice of running records because teachers brush up on their skills while listening to actual students.  The text moves beyond the nursery rhymes in Conventions Made Simple to stories used in many classrooms today.  Teachers can use this CD in their computer or home CD player for an extensive practice using student examples of each of the conventions.
