STAR Early Literacy is designed to assess foundational literacy skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and print concepts in young learners.

Question 2

A STAR Early Literacy report shows a kindergartener has a low score in the Graphophonemic Knowledge domain. What literacy skill area should the teacher target?

Which STAR Early Literacy domain assesses a student's ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words?

Phonemic Awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and manipulate the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words -- a critical precursor to reading.

Question 4

What does a STAR Early Literacy Scaled Score allow teachers and administrators to do?

Accepted Answer

Track a student's early literacy growth over time on a consistent developmental scale

Answer

Like all STAR assessments, the Early Literacy Scaled Score is placed on a consistent developmental scale, allowing growth to be tracked accurately from one testing period to the next.

Question 5

How does STAR Early Literacy accommodate students who cannot yet read print independently?

Accepted Answer

Questions are delivered with audio support so students can hear and respond without needing to read

Answer

STAR Early Literacy uses audio-supported items that are read aloud to students by the computer, enabling assessment of early literacy skills even before students can independently read print.
