  Case: STAR test assessment question
A school recently decided to pilot the STAR test. This is the first time 1st graders were given a computer test that wasn't read to them. It is also only 35 questions and it is timed. Does anyone have any experience with this test or how to prep students for it?

STAR testing is something my district uses consistently. Like the other suggestions, preparing your students to take the STAR is almost impossible. STAR is designed to set a level for students based on what they already know and do not know. Many of the items on STAR is content students are not yet familiar with. However, there is STAR Reading and STAR Early Literacy. In the Early Literacy portion, the passages are audible. Also, the time can be adjusted by an administrator, usually your Media Specialist has access to that feature. We have to adjust times for our students with IEPs.
