Reading Instruction Anywhere, Anytime, for Everyone

The classroom of today is very different to the classroom of a decade ago, or even of a few months ago. Unprecedented demands on teachers place more and more pressure on the goal of achieving nebulous standards and outcomes, while the educational environment shifts underneath us in response to changing times and outside catastrophes. Traditional teaching practices and school structures may prove unprepared for the challenges of the twenty-first century and an ever more uncertain world.

The classroom of tomorrow might not even exist in the way the classroom of yesteryear did, taking place not in one physical space but wherever students and teachers happen to be at any given moment. Like with any advance in education, this brings with it new and exciting opportunities at the same time as it presents fresh challenges and difficulties. Teachers and students alike stand ready, but it is the quality of tools available that will determine whether the classroom of tomorrow embraces new ways of teaching and learning or chooses to remain the same.

CARS & STARS Online is a digital reading comprehension program based around the repeated application of twelve core reading strategies to make students better readers who can analyse and interpret any text at a high level of understanding. The multi-level program is designed to be entirely paper-free, with all student answers being entered directly into the software, and results being instantly recorded and corrected automatically, requiring no teacher marking.

CARS & STARS Online is always on and always accessible, freeing students and teachers alike from the absolute necessity of set times for instruction. Lessons can be undertaken at any point without the need for a formal class structure. While the format of the program itself is established and consistent across every level, the ways in which it can be used and taught are fluid and up to the teacher themselves. Equally useable in both a classroom environment or for at-home learning, and accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, CARS & STARS is perfect for the classroom of tomorrow – or the classroom, bedroom, kitchen table, backyard, waiting room or indeed anywhere of today!
