Track students’ developmental growth
Star CBM provides a progression of measures in both reading and mathematics that helps you track students’ progress toward third-grade proficiency.
Star CBM Reading begins by assessing students’ understanding of letters and their sounds, moves on to basic phonological awareness and early decoding, and progresses to passage reading.
Star CBM Math demonstrates students’ developing math competency, including recognizing numerals and their value, as well as learning basic facts in addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
Along with measures of reading achievement, Star CBM Reading includes assessment of Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN), which many states and professionals require as part of universal screening for dyslexia for all students in kindergarten through grade 3.
