What is a STAR card?

A STAR card is a specialized resource for STAR Read-Aloud Practices and can be created to match any book. The 30 free STAR cards included on this website match 30 books used in previous STAR projects. Each card cites two print knowledge targets and four scaffolding examples for each target. There are two examples of both High- and Low-Support Scaffolding for each target.

How can STAR cards be helpful to educators?

STAR Cards offer suggestions of scaffolding techniques that teachers can use as they read storybooks with their children, but teachers should not feel constrained by the cards. Teachers can use the STAR cards for support until they feel comfortable incorporating their own scaffolding techniques throughout the reading.
