Thanks to everyone who sent me information about S.T.A.R.  Here is the
information I received about this computer program which works with AR:


We purchased the STAR program last year. It's quite expensive, but I
think it will do a great job. It will allow for testing student reading
levels at least 5 times per year. I am hoping that ALL of our students
will be tested. I think some of them will be surprised at their reading
levels. They *aren't* reading enough voluntarily.

Cheryl -  We have been using STAR since last january and it has been a
tremendous help with the AR program.  With AR, we really emphasize the
need
for kids to read in their ZPD and STAR has been a great tool  - it even
listed the ZPD in the diagnostic report.  The nice thing about STAR is
that
when new students enroll you can test them in just a few minutes and that
can help with placement or just having a little more information about
that
student that you might not have had before.  It was so successful at our
schol (950 students) that our district is now buying a district license
for
use in the other 24 schools.  If you need anything more specific let me
know.

        I purchased S.T.A.R. program last spring.  My chapter 1 reading
teachers have used in as another tool for testing students with reading
problems.  Hope to use with AR more this school year.
