These scores represent a snapshot of achievement ata specific point in time. As with any assessment, it is important to remember that many factors can affect a student’s scores. Renaissance Star Early Literacy scores give only one picture of how well a student is doing in school.  \nScaled Score (SS) is calculated based on the difficulty of items and the number of correct responses. Because the same range is used for all students, scaled scores can be used to compare student performance across grade levels. Star Early Literacy scaled scores range from 300 to 900 and relate directly to the literacy classifications.  \nLiteracy classifications are the stages of literacy development measured in Star Early Literacy and associated with scaled scores: Emergent Reader (300–674), Transitional Reader (675–774), and Probable Reader (775–900) . These stages are an easy way to monitor student progress:  \n• Emergent Reader (300–674)  \n– Early Emergent Reader (300–487): Student is beginning to understand that printed text has meaning. The student is learning that reading involves printed words and sentences, and that print flows from left to right and from the top to the bottom of the page. The student is also beginning to identify colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.  \n– Late Emergent Reader (488–674): Student can identify most of the letters of the alphabet and can match most of the letters to their sounds. The student is also beginning to “read” picture books and familiar words around the home. Through repeated reading of favorite books with an adult, students at this stage are building their vocabularies, listening skills, and understandings of print.  \n• Transitional Reader (675–774): Student has mastered alphabet skills and letter-sound relationships. The student can identify many beginning and ending consonant sounds and long and short vowel sounds, and is probably able to blend sounds and word parts to read simple words. The student is also likely using a variety of strategies to figure out words, such as pictures, story patterns, and phonics.  \n• Probable Reader (775–900): Student is becoming proficient at recognizing many words, both in and out of context. The student spends less time identifying and sounding out words, and more time understanding what was read. Probable readers can blend sounds and word parts to read words and sentences more quickly, smoothly, and independently than students in the other stages of development.  \nDomain Scores estimate a student’s mastery of each domain for the student’s grade level. For example, a domain score of 50 for a 5th grader means the student would be expected to answer correctly approximately 50 percent of the fifth-grade items in that domain.  \n© Copyright 2017 Renaissance Learning, Inc.

Literacy sub-domain scores range from 0 to 100 in ten areas, covering 41 skill sets, which contain 145 separate literacy skills:  \n• Alphabetic Principle (AP) assesses a student’s knowledge of letter names, alphabetic letter sequences, and the sounds associated with letters.  \n• Concept of Word (CW) assesses a student’s understanding of print concepts regarding written word length and word borders and the difference between words and letters.  \n• Visual Discrimination (VS) assesses a student’s ability to differentiate both upper-and lowercase letters, identify words that are different, and match words that are the same.  \n• Phonemic Awareness (PA) assesses a student’s understanding of rhyming words;","cbCaijzQ0FW9lk7I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijzQ0FW9lk7I","pdf",101447,"English","# Scaled Score (SS)\n## Literacy classifications and score ranges\n## Domain Scores\n## Literacy sub-domain scores\n## Student Growth Percentile (SGP)\n## Skill Score","[{\"question\":\"What do Renaissance Star Early Literacy Scaled Scores (SS) measure and how are they used?\",\"answer\":\"Scaled Scores are calculated based on item difficulty and correct responses.
