- Want to be a more successful student?
- Improving your reading will help you in all of your core classes as well as offer you an important lifelong skill.
- Each student takes the STAR test to determine his/her ZPD (zone of proximal development). Students will visit the multimedia lab with their teacher to take the STAR test.
- Based on this ZPD score, students will select books from the library.
- After a teacher approves, the student takes a computerized quiz to show understanding.
- Scores may be incorporated into scholarship grades, but more importantly, students are motivated to read and become excited about books.
- Teachers will use the program in different ways in the classroom.
