STAR Early Literacy

A Breakthrough in Early Literacy Assessment.

Before STAR Early Literacy, oral questioning and traditional paper-and-pencil test were the standard means of assessing preK-3 students and other emerging readers. These traditional assessments are time-consuming, inefficient, and expensive. STAR Early Literacy is an easily administered, Web-based early literacy assessment tool that provides immediate feedback on the development of your students' literacy skills.

With STAR Early Literacy you can:

  • Expedite the testing process with assessments students can finish on their own in approximately 10 minutes.
  • Eliminate test anxiety with computer-adaptive technology that adjusts the level of difficulty based on answers to previous questions.
  • Assess student literacy proficiency in 7 key early literacy domains involving 41 different sets of skills or concepts.
  • Screen students for placement, diagnostic assessment, progress monitoring, growth measurement, and outcomes assessment.
  • Monitor student and class progress through the school year.
  • Maximize the amount of information available to support direct instruction.
  • Improve communication with students, parents and administrators with detailed, easy-to-understand reports.
  • Save Money by administering assessments that you can repeat as often as you like — without additional costs.

With STAR Assessments powered by Renaissance Place you get all this:

  • STAR Software that runs on a Web-based server, which can be accessed by any Macintosh or Windows computer on your network in much the same way you connect to a Website on the Internet.
  • Online help and software manuals to help you run your software easily and effectively.
  • Pretest instructions, featuring detailed illustrations to help explain the test to students.
  • Districtwide Management and Reporting Access that gives you and others throughout your district convenient access to all your data and reports from any Web-connected computer, anytime.
