So all I have to say about Running Records is AAAARRRGGGHH!!! I thought the little ones were tough, but I was not prepared to try it with a senior (even one who doesn't read at grade level). This is going to take a bit of practice, to say the least.
As for the reading, I find myself a little overwhelmed. There are so many ways to not just informally assess reading, but to formally assess as well. In my position, I have to find the ones that are not only the most age appropriate but also the most efficient. With 190 kids, time is a valued thing. I think that portfolios are definitely an option, as older kids can be taught to self evaluate. I also like the idea of organizing them on a calendar and choosing one student a day to observe.
