I just learned about this app this summer, and I am SO excited to use it this year! It looks awesome! Get it while it's FREE!!
The Record of Reading app lets you use an electronic form for taking a running record. The app provides embedded formulas for the accuracy and self-correction rate (no need for a calculator!). It also records the reader and embeds their audio into the running record for playback while looking at the running records. The running record can be saved as a PDF and emailed.
