Overall Satisfaction with Renaissance Star Assessments

We use Renaissance Star Assessments initially to measure our students' reading levels. Then, about every 6 weeks, students retake the test to measure growth in their reading levels. Our district uses Renaissance Star Assessments in grades K-5th. We align our library and in-class library to match the AR levels from the Renaissance Star Assessments tests.
  • Assessing students' reading levels
  • Assigning students to reading levels
  • Leveling and up down--it is a "smart" test
  • Reading questions to beginning readers
  • I don't know what to do with the Star Early Literacy Test information
  • Have a break in the middle--about question 15. The test is 33 questions.
  • I wish every AR test could be read to students.
  • smart test feature
  • Renaissance Star Assessments Early Literacy provides an option for non-readers
  • reports for teacher and parents
  • immeasurable. We would not know what level books our students should read without it.
  • After a 2nd and 3rd assessments, students and teachers alike get excited about seeing the growth
Accelerated Reader goes hand-in hand with Renaissance Star Assessments assessments. The program dovetail into each other. The Renaissance Star Assessments informs the student, parent, and teacher what level a child is reading and appropriate materials can be used that are in a child's reading level. Since COVID, student reading levels are down. A lower leveling of the test would be amazing and get students reading AR books sooner in their academic careers.

Our reading program is built around Accelerated Reader and Renaissance Star Assessments. The tests level students, then each book has an AR level that corresponds to those levels. Great way to individualize and meet students where they are. It is a wonderful way to track reading growth. The growth report with the line plot graph is one I sent home to parents.
