Research-proven early childhood assessment

Accurate and consistent data to inform preschool instruction

More than one-third of children who enter kindergarten lack the pre-literacy skills crucial for future success. Research shows that preparing children for kindergarten increases third grade proficiency rates, leads to higher graduation rates, and positively impacts their future outcomes.

Star Preschool Literacy provides the screening and progress monitoring tools that accurately measure your students’ development in key foundational literacy areas, helping you identify where to target instruction to meet every child’s literacy learning needs during the important preschool years.

Star Preschool Literacy is specifically designed for students who are one and two years prior to kindergarten.
