Star Assessments
These are monthly assessments that monitor the grade level your child is working at in Reading.
GE: We monitor this score for reading groups and intervention. By the end of the year, your child is expected to grow 1.0 from their first test.
IRL: We use this score to identify your child’s AR shark level
ZPD: Zone of Proximal Development. This means they can be successful reading books that are within this range. This can be with teacher support.
ARYour child is placed into a Shark Level. They will need to read their books several times before they are allowed to take a quiz.
Please encourage your child to read their books and ask them questions.
Please understand that your child might not get to test when they are ready due to the lack of technology. We will do our best to ensure your child tests in a timely manner.
This may change within the next few weeks. As soon as we know, you will be notified.
