Again, I don't know that there are hard and fast rules but I generally wait out a child until I get an appeal (a verbal or nonverbal cue for help). I have always explained to children that I believe that given the chance to problem solve, that I expect them to be marvelous 'word detectives'. I taught children in my classroom to wait to a count of sixty before helping one another. All of that said, I break every rule every set for myself, sometimes for the good and sometimes not! When it is a content word-a vocabulary word I know will not be in their spoken vocabulary (sometimes one they may get to in terms of pronunciation but without meaning), especially when I realize it is a word I should probably have planted through book introduction in an instructional setting, I provide the word with a very quick explanation.
Kelly, I think you will find that there will be a difference between your interactions depending on the purpose of the conference. In a formal evaluation, words are rarely told in running records and not told--if at all possible--in miscue analysis. In an informal conference, I like Taberski's description of stepping into and out of the running record mode.
