The STAR program is a computer-adaptive reading test and database that provides teachers with norm-referenced information on the student's instructional reading level and reading range. It is a perfect complement to Accelerated Reader and helps teachers accurately assess the reading levels of students at key times throughout the school year as they monitor students' reading growth.
