Description

Star Assessments offer a comprehensive system for understanding student achievement and growth in reading, math, early literacy, and more across grades Pre-K through 12. Combining CAT and CBM assessments, Star delivers rapid, research-backed data that equips educators to identify skill gaps, organize instructional groups, and guide next-step learning. All assessments are designed to minimize testing time while generating highly precise insights that drive targeted instruction. Administrators can review districtwide performance through interactive dashboards that highlight growth, compare demographic groups, and reveal long-term trends. Teachers receive clear information about which skills students are ready for, along with embedded instructional resources to support immediate action. Star’s strong correlations with state summative exams, ACT, and SAT allow educators to forecast future achievement early in the year. The system also includes dedicated tools for multilingual learners, dyslexia risk identification, and mastery tracking. With decades of research and billions of data points informing its design, Star empowers schools to confidently support every student’s learning journey.

Description

STAR Phonics is an online tool developed by Renaissance that assists educators in swiftly and accurately assessing the foundational reading abilities of their students. This assessment evaluates proficiency in 12 essential phonics categories and identifies 102 specific phonics skills, providing educators with comprehensive insights into both the phonics patterns students have mastered and the areas that need further attention. The screening process is quick, usually taking just 2-5 minutes per student, and results are generated instantly without the need for manual data entry. It offers diagnostic reports at various levels, including individual students, classes, and grade-wide assessments; these reports reveal patterns of mistakes and gaps in skills, enabling teachers to customize their instructional approaches for individuals, small groups, entire classes, or even whole grades. Recently, STAR Phonics has introduced new features, such as audio pronunciations for every assessment word to enhance accuracy in scoring, as well as improved capabilities for exporting screener data categorized by phonics and by individual words. With these advancements, educators can gain a deeper understanding of their students’ phonics skills, ensuring that instruction is as effective and targeted as possible.
