proper nouns are only counted onceNEW by: Anonymous
Errors that are proper nouns are only counted once, no matter how many times the child says the wrong word. For example if the word is Jenny and the child calls it Jimmy throughout the text, it would only be one error. BUT, if it is just a regular noun (like reading dog for puppy) it would be counted as an error every single time it is read wrong. (This is from running record training from reading recovery teachers)

I would tell the child the word, if they appeal to you for help, then mark them incorrect if they continue to make the error.
This way you can give them assistance, but still know if they are "getting it" or not.
