Fountas and Pinnell - Assessment Reminders and Important Tips
Click here - IMPORTANT TIPS FOR ASSESSING STUDENTS:
- Reminder: Running records are a tool to help us focus on reading behaviors. We do not want an inflated view of a reader’s ability to comprehend a text because then we will not know what needs to be taught. F & P data is to dig deeper so we can target our instruction and grow our readers, not to be used for showing teacher evaluative growth.

End of the Year - Passing on the Student Assessment Folder
Use the Student Assessment Folder (provided in your F & P Kit) for each student in your class. (examples of folder below)
- Be sure to write both first and last name on folder.
- Record on the front of the folder the school year, grade, classroom teacher and the instructional level for each testing period (Oct, Jan, May) If they were not re-tested in January because they were at benchmark, just record the benchmark level they met.
- Please put inside the actual last running records you did for May only.
- Once you have your class folders completed please turn in to your building secretary by the last day of school. They will be getting those to next year’s teacher.
- Need help, have questions, contact your literacy coaches.
