Actually the Star test is not comprehensive. It is merely a Cloze test.
As it presumes to measure vocabulary/comprehension, help with
unfamiliar words would defeat the purpose of the test.

Hello! My school began the Accelerated Reader Program last year, and
=
this year we're adding the Star Reading program. Several of the =
teachers have asked me if we will be reading the tests to the students,
=
or helping them with unfamiliar words. It was my understanding that =
since this is a comprehensive reading test, we should not assist the =
students. Please let me know how this works in your school. I"ll be
=
glad to post a hit if anyone is interested.
Thanks so much!
