STAR Constellation
The STAR Constellation consists of three tests, each of which can be administered to many students at once in a computer lab without teacher administration. All use computer-adaptive technology and item response theory (CAT/IRT) to keep tests short (around ten minutes) but statistically rigorous and consistent across grades.
- STAR Early Literacy is for pre- and emergent-literate students, using audio and pictures to communicate with students who are not yet independent readers. It provides data on 41 skills in the seven key literacy domains. It measures skill growth in developing readers and serves as a diagnostic for older struggling readers.
- STAR Reading is a nationally-normed reading test for all independent readers through 12th grade. It is administered schoolwide for screening and progress monitoring three times a year, but can be used up to monthly in intervention situations.
