I have used this method for several years and it works for me. I have one non-spiral composition book for each student in my 1st grade class. I keep these in a "special" basket. When I am listening to kids do their first read on a new book in guided reading, I take anecdotal records (including the name of the book and the date). When I take a running record on a child, I keep it in this composition book. I also use these for writing workshop conferences. This works for me because I am going to lose loose pieces of paper or pages of labels! The kids know where these are kept (by my place where I work with small groups), so if I am working with a child and don't have their composition book, they can go get it quickly for me. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
