The child I used to practice the assessments with is in 1st grade. I had him read a passage to test his reading level using a running record.
Print Awareness: The child scored high in this area, he knows the basics of print awareness and was easily able to answer my questions on this topic.
Phonemic Awareness: He struggled to sound out some basic words as he seemed to be a little nervous and anxious. I would therefore suggest that he is reminded to slowly sound out each word that he isn't sure about before rushing to finish reading the text.
Phonics: One area of phonics that I noticed my child struggled with was his long vowels. I would therefore have the child work one on one with a teacher to practice his short and long vowels and not mix up the sounds.
Fluency: I was surprised that when my child was done reading the passage he remembered all the details of what he read. This shows me that although my student didn't read all of his words correctly, he generally has a high fluency level as he recalled the details of the text, and read most of it smoothly and clearly.

The turtle diary looks like it has some great videos to help children understand concepts such as the long vowel sounds. Thanks for sharing!
