Recent studies and research projects have shown the effectiveness of the approach featured in CARS & STARS Online in improving student outcomes and allowing students to achieve advanced levels of reading comprehension. Further studies have also found the approach used in CARS & STARS Online is especially beneficial for disadvantaged students.
CARS & STARS Online is built on the core belief that no student learns the same way or at the same pace, and this knowledge informs the whole program – making it one built on targeted instruction and differentiation as its central concept, rather than something added later to complement existing, more rigid instruction
According to the World Literacy Foundation, around 1 in 5 people in the world are completely illiterate and an estimated 3 billion people today struggle with basic reading and writing. This can have flow-on effects to their economic security, health and social well-being. Fortunately, research shows that early reading intervention through quality programs can help arrest this negative spiral for future generations.
