The Network for English Acquisition and Reading Star Schools Program (NEARStar)
is an interactive, Web-based multimedia supplemental reading program designed
for students who are in the beginning stages of both reading and oral language
development. NEARStar’s unique teaching method merges reading skill instruction
with early English language development, specifically linking what students can
understand to what they are presented with in print.
Students access engaging activities, animated chants and songs, and interactive
online books that provide repeated exposure and focused practice to learn the
lesson’s featured vocabulary words and phonics skills. NEARStar’s components
align with national standards and include a link for the classroom teacher to
instantly access student reports, which provide customized professional
development recommendations based on student needs.
