Renaissance solutions have impacted our reading culture. We have a word millionaire board celebrating those who have achieved certificates, and students are continually aware of their reading age and ZPD. Hence, they can select appropriate books. The overall impact has been very positive.

Star Reading is invaluable in ensuring students read appropriately without becoming overwhelmed by texts that are too dense or underachieving by reading texts with too low a vocabulary load.

Not just does our secondary school use Star tests, but our mission teams also use the Star test as one of the indicators for those applicants who would like to join Independent School Foundation Academy. We have been using star tests for the admission purposes for nearly maybe 10 years.
