    How much time is given for a running record. Is there a time limit?

      I would usually do them in about 10 minutes, depending on the time that I have. It really depends on how long it takes them to read the book. 🙂

    Where do we download the actual running record form that you’re using in your photos? The download link provides instructions for using the form, but no form. ?
