STARI is a literacy intervention designed to support adolescent struggling readers through high-interest and engaging texts, topics, and conversation that teach essential literacy skills such as decoding, fluency and comprehension strategies.
The Head, Heart, and Conscience Strategy asks students to consider what they know, how they feel about a particular topic/event, and how others feel/are impacted by the topic/event.
The Qualitative Reading Inventory (Seventh Edition) (QRI-7) assesses students’ literacy skills through graded word lists, leveled-passages, and explicit and implicit questions following oral and silent reading.
