Renaissance Star Assessments Reviews & Product Details

The most helpful tool for me at this time is the Star Early Literacy Assessment. I use this assessment to determine whether a student is showing deficiencies in phonemic awareness. I am the dyslexia specialist for the district and use the Star Early Literacy Assessment to determine which students could benefit from the Orton-Gillingham style of learning phonics.

I really wish that I could look at a students diagnostic reports and determine for certain the skills they are struggling with. I would like to know that a student is struggling with prepositions because he/she missed some questions pertaining to that concept. Currently, the student results are based upon their scaled scores.

STAR assessments are very accurate to their ability for the most part. The skills taught are all covered and when students are above/below average, they will meet their ability on the questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like STAR assessments. I do wish, however, that they did have questions read to kindergarten because most of the questions are too hard for them to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the Star Assessments adapt to the student as they are answering questions. Afterward there are different reports you can look at. It will also tell you the grade level where students should practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something I dislike is that when you don't pause the test correctly, students will have to begin the test from the beginning, which can be discouraging for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
