Gaynor Haldenby found Renaissance Star Assessments™️:

• Slightly reduces teacher workload“The reports are really user friendly and visual and you can see at a glance just who needs what assistance. It doesn't add to or take away from workload but it does make it possible to measure reading.”
• Moderately improves teaching efficiency“It gives teachers the information needed to monitor students’ reading practice and make informed decisions to guide their future learning in reading and writing. The set of reports reveals how much a student has been reading, at what level of complexity, and how well they have understood what they have read. It gives teachers an insight into how well students have responded to reading and then what the students next step is.”
• Moderately builds student knowledge“As texts are matched to reading ability, students' engagement and motivation is much better, and they gain much more information and knowledge from reading independently. It helps the student to recall information from the book by asking the specific questions to that story. Students show clear knowledge on their books and it is vital they read with detail to reach targets, gain rewards and then to move to the next steps.”
