My Grade Level Equivalent (GE) from the September STAR Reading Test is _____________.

STAR Reading scores represent how students performed on the test compared with the performance of a nationally representative sample of students. These scores present a “snapshot” of achievement at a specific point in time. As with any test it is important to remember that many factors can affect a student’s test scores. STAR Reading test scores give only one picture how a student is doing in school.

GE (Grade Equivalent)Grade Equivalent scores range from 0.0 to 12.9+. They represent how a student’s test performance compares with that of other students nationally.

Reading Level Estimate

Reading Passage I learned that the wind is important for more than flying kites or making our wind chime make music. Without the wind, our world wouldn’t have any people, food, or animals. Wind moves the heat from the sun all around the planet. Without the wind, about half of the earth would be too hot for any living thing. Most of the rest of the earth would be too cold. In fact, most of our country would be under ice. Wind is useful to all living things. It brings moisture up from the oceans into the air. Then the wind blows the moisture around. The moisture falls as rain, dew, or snow and ice. Many plants and trees depend on the wind. The wind helps them spread their seeds to new places. Wind also blows pollen around so trees, grass, and grains can ripen. Without the wind, farmers couldn’t grow corn or wheat. Bees help the wind spread pollen. Their job is to fly from blossom to blossom with pollen on their feet and wings. You can see for yourself how the wind spreads seeds. The next time you see a yellow dandelion that has turned into a white puffball, blow it. Or, if you find a maple tree seed with wings that looks like a helicopter, throw it. You’ll see all of the seeds go flying, and you will be helping the wind do its job.
