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.
During this activity, students brainstorm what they know about a given topic. After engaging with text, they revisit their brainstorm and identify words, ideas, etc. that were used in the text.
This resource is a tool for conducting observations to assess and improve teacher-student and student-student interactions, with a focus on open-ended questions and extended conversations to promote the development of student listening comprehension skill.
