Guide your Spanish-speaking English Learner, dual-language, and immersion students to even greater growth with assessments for early literacy, reading, and math in both English and Spanish. Appropriate for in-person, remote, and hybrid teaching.
Take a short tourFocus Skills are the building blocks of student learning. Based on extensive research on how learning progresses in reading and math, the Focus Skills provide a roadmap to lead each student to greater mastery.
Whether you are testing in-person, remotely, or a combination of both, confidently guide instructional decisions for students receiving instruction in both English and Spanish.
Imagine you have a new student, a Spanish-speaking English Learner. If you only test him in English, you won’t necessarily get a complete picture of the skills he has developed in his native language.
Now imagine that you also assess the student in Spanish. This will provide you with insight into what he knows and can do in both languages, so you can provide instruction and support to help him reach his full potential.
Three Star Assessments are available in both English and Spanish: Star Early Literacy for grades K–3, Star Reading for grades K–12, and Star Math for grades 1–12. With Star Assessments, you can get a consistent measure of achievement and growth, in English and in Spanish, across all grades!
Star Assessments support an asset-based approach to learning, focused on what students know and can do in Spanish and English—and how you can build on this to support bilingualism and biliteracy. Get the details in our recent blog post.
Is there really a “critical period” for learning a second language? Is English immersion more or less effective than dual-language instruction? Get the answers as we explore 6 common myths about bilingual learners.
Which skills are your students ready to learn in Spanish? The Progresión de la lectura de Renaissance describes the learning progression development process, including how it is authentic to the pedagogy for Spanish Reading. It also represents the set of skills a student needs to achieve reading success.
For educators who were unable to join us at NABE 2021 we are providing the opportunity to view the following sessions to learn more about how Renaissance is shaping the future of emergent bilingual students.
Presenters: Doris Chavez-Linville and Carol Johnson
Students in bilingual and dual language programs graduate from high school headed to the career or college of their dreams. One of the main reasons for this success is the development of biliteracy. This session will explore the ways in which Renaissance supports biliteracy in bilingual and dual language programs.
Presenters: Doris Chavez-Linville, Carol Johnson, and Samuel Aguirre (WIDA)
Classroom teachers and school leaders in settings where Spanish is a target language constantly negotiate ways to drive Spanish language development (SLD) and Spanish language arts (SLA) standards. In a collaborative presentation, WIDA and Renaissance present ways to meet SLD and SLA goals, specifically those associated with reading, by looking at similarities and differences of the two.
Watch this webinar to see how Star Assessments in Spanish and English show you what emerging bilingual students know and what they’re ready to learn next.
