The Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System was designed to place students appropriately into the Guided Reading program designed by Irene Fountas and Gay Su Pinnell. It is a standardized, teacher-administered, one-on-one assessment, that must be hand-scored by the teacher as well. The test consists primarily of running records, in which the teacher records such things as oral fluency, reading errors, self-correction ratios, and is followed by retelling and comprehension questions by the teacher. In addition, the teacher may choose to administer additional, separate assessments in vocabulary or phonics.
