CARS & STARS
Boost reading comprehension with this powerful combination of assessment and instruction
These new, updated editions of the popular best-sellers CARS & STARS expand on the research-proven success of the earlier series to make boosting your students’ reading comprehension with targeted instruction in the core strategies even easier.
Welcome to the CARS & STARS Reading and Comprehension Program
The comprehensive CARS & STARS program consists of ten levels (P–H) that allow you to identify and teach twelve reading and comprehension strategies, and improve literacy results. The program is divided into two parts: CARS (the assessment portion) and STARS (the instruction portion). Each CARS & STARS Plus level consists of both a student book and a teacher guide.
