WHAT IS THE RESEARCH BASE UPON WHICH STAR IS BUILT?
STAR is based on a body of research that is summarized in a report published by the Partnership for Reading entitled, Research-based Principles for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction written by John Kruidenier. STAR supports evidence-based reading instruction which integrates the research found in the above report with practitioner wisdom. STAR also uses the Adult Reading Components (ARCS) to identify learner profiles for intermediate-level readers in Adult Basic Education programs.
