Data and Outcomes: STAR Reading |
|
|
|
STAR Reading is a computer-based comprehensive assessment that provides all the insights needed to guide literacy growth for emergent readers, struggling readers, and high achievers. Once students take the STAR Reading assessment, their grade equivalent grade score is presented and Accelerated Reader goal can be created.
Some books are worth 0.5 points while others are worth several points. Based on the number of points students earn, they can reach gold, silver, or bronze achievement level(s). At the end of every 9 weeks there is a special AR lunch to celebrate those that have reached and surpassed their goals.
Keep reading, HECOONS!
