I want to ensure the STAR Reading Parent Report makes it home to you safely!
Earlier this school year students completed the STAR Reading Test, a computer-adaptive test for reading. Students will take home their report on Wednesday, August 29th. The report contains a summary of your child's scores. Please take a moment to review the report with your child to determine strengths and areas of improvement. (Note: I do not need this report signed and returned to me. Please keep this report for your records.)
The report can help you and your child select Accelerated Reader books. The Instructional Reading Level (IRL) of your child determined his or her Accelerated Reading point goal, along with reading 30 minutes a day. The Zone of Proximal Development is the book level/reading level range your child should use to select Accelerated Reader books. SCMS's library books contain the book level in the front cover or you may check the book level at www.arbookfind.com.
Students will take the STAR Reading Test two other times this school year with the goal that their reading levels increases each time. Reading at school and home will help make a difference in your child's reading ability. I look forward to seeing how they've grown the next time we take the STAR Reading Test.
