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.
This strategy provides students with the opportunity to engage in rich, peer-to-peer, conversations with their classmates. This resource includes an overview of the strategy and clear directions to support implementation.
The Lexile Framework for Listening measures students’ listening skills using audio passages and comprehension questions that assess the students’ ability to identify the main idea, supporting details, and make inferences.
