Choose a level that matches the studentās age or grade.
Use the Running Record to observe and score:

For Spanish-speaking students, use Spanish Benchmark Passages (Pasajes estƔndar).
š¹ Step 2: Retelling Rubric
After reading, ask the student to retell the story or passage in their own words.
Use the Retelling Rubric to evaluate their comprehension.

These are multiple-choice quizzes that come with each Benchmark Passage.
Each question is tagged with the comprehension skill it assesses.
