Dear Parent or Guardian of Tony Oliva,
Your child has just taken a STAR Early Literacy assessment on the computer. STAR Early Literacy measures your child's
proficiency in up to nine areas that are important in reading development. This report summarizes your child's scores on
the assessment. As with any assessment, many factors can affect your child's scores. It is important to understand that
these scores provide only one picture of how your child is doing in school.
Scaled Score: 883
The Scaled Score is the overall score that your child received on the STAR Early Literacy assessment. It is calculated based
on both the difficulty of the questions and the number of correct responses. Scaled Scores in STAR Early Literacy range
from 300 to 900 and span the grades Pre-K through 3.
Tony obtained a Scaled Score of 883. A Scaled Score of 883 means that Tony is at the Probable Reader stage.

Children at the Probable Reader stage are becoming proficient at recognizing many words, both in and out of context. They
spend less time identifying and sounding out words and more time understanding what they have read. They can blend
sounds and word parts to read words and sentences more quickly, smoothly, and independently.
Tony is using more complex strategies to decode words and access the meaning of grade-appropriate text. He or she
understands that many grade-level words can have similar or opposite meanings. He or she understands that words have
different functions. He or she is increasingly able to select books that interest him or her, to monitor own reading, and to
self-correct as needed. Tony is probably able to locate key details in text to answer literal and inferential questions. Also,
he or she is probably able to read aloud some easy texts with accuracy, fluency, and expression.
You can encourage your child's growth in reading skills by providing opportunities to read and discuss a variety of books at
home. Tony would also benefit from fun activities, such as playing word games or asking questions that require voicing an
opinion or idea. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you for supporting your child’s reading progress.
Sincerely,
