Easy administration, easy reporting

Assessment shouldn’t be stressful—for either students or teachers. Star Early Literacy makes it easy for kids to take tests and easy for educators to get the results.

Students use computers or tablets. Demonstration videos, practice items, audio supports, and graphics help get a true measure of students’ early literacy skills.

Guide all students towards reading proficiency with insightful reports that show you the skills students know and the skills they are ready to work on next.

COMPREHENSIVE AND INTEGRATED ASSESSMENTS

Grow literacy from pre-reader to high-achiever

Grow literacy from pre-reader to high-achiever

Star Early Literacy measures both early literacy and early numeracy in a single assessment, providing reliable and valid data about students’ phonological awareness, phonics, word recognition, fluency (including estimated oral reading fluency), and vocabulary as well as early number recognition, counting, and more.

Star Reading integration

When students are ready to transition to independent reading, they can seamlessly move from Star Early Literacy to Star Reading, providing an uninterrupted view of K–12 growth. These two assessments share the same unified scale, so scores are comparable—and you can even see data from the two tests in a single report!
