Running Record Miscue Tally
Tally coded running-record miscues and error rate for reading analysis.
Description
Running-record miscue tallies summarize preassigned reading-error codes.
Running-record miscue tallies summarize preassigned reading-error codes. Error percentage relates the number of supplied miscues to words read.1
Tally coded running-record miscues and error rate for reading analysis.
When to use Running Record Miscue Tally
Use this tool to tally coded running-record miscues and error rate for reading analysis.
Prepare the lesson timeline, roster, observations or assessment labels requested. Use consistent units and exact identifiers, then choose comparison criteria appropriate to the activity.
How to use Running Record Miscue Tally and understand its results
- Prepare the lesson timeline, roster, observations or assessment labels requested. Use consistent units and exact identifiers, then choose comparison criteria appropriate to the activity.
- Enter miscueTypes, totalWordsRead using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read meaningCount, syntaxCount, visualCount, uncodedCount, errorRatePercent. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| miscueTypes | Miscue types | list of string | Required |
| totalWordsRead | Total words read | number | Required |
Enter positive safe-integer word count and exact meaning, syntax, visual or unknown codes, with no more codes than words. Return category counts and error percentage. Empty miscue lists give zero errors.
errorRate%=100 miscueCount/totalWordsRead Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| meaningCount | Meaning count | number |
| syntaxCount | Syntax count | number |
| visualCount | Visual count | number |
| uncodedCount | Uncoded count | number |
| errorRatePercent | Error rate percent | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
No reading is analyzed or miscue category inferred. Self-corrections, multi-code events and scoring conventions require preparation outside the tool.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
