Scale Score Explanation and Kindergarten Readiness Performance Levels

The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment provides parents, teachers, and early childhood providers with a

common understanding of what children know and are able to do upon entering school. The primary purpose of

the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment is to improve the quality of classroom instruction and other services

provided to students from birth to 3rd grade. STAR Early Literacy developed by Renaissance Learning, Inc. is

the assessment administered to provide educators with this information.

530 Cut Score Explanation Seventy percent mastery of knowledge and skills in early literacy and numeracy at the beginning of

kindergarten was selected as the level of mastery for the kindergarten readiness benchmark. Data shows it

provides both a measurable distinction between Pre-K and kindergarten skills on STAR Early Literacy and a

strong prediction of proficiency as measured by STAR Reading in Grade 3. The minimum beginning-of-year

kindergarten scale score associated with 70% mastery is 530. This score was identified to be the beginning-of-

year kindergarten readiness benchmark (Renaissance Learning 2014). Based on extensive research, 85% of

students scoring 530 or higher at the beginning of kindergarten are proficient in reading at the end of grade 3. A

spring scale score of 681 places students on a trajectory to meet end of grade 3 reading expectations.

Level

Scale

Score

Range

Descriptors

Early Emergent

Reader 300-487

Student is beginning to understand that printed text has meaning. The student is

learning that reading involves printed words and sentences, and that print flows

from left to right and from the top to the bottom of the page. The student is also

beginning to identify colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.

Late Emergent

Reader 488-674

Student can identify most of the letters of the alphabet and can match most of

the letters to their sounds. The student is also beginning to “read” picture books

and familiar words around the home. Through repeated reading of favorite

books with an adult, students at this stage are building their vocabularies,

listening skills, and understandings of print.

Transitional Reader 675-774

Student has mastered alphabet skills and letter-sound relationships. The student

can identify many beginning and ending consonant sounds and long and short

vowel sounds, and is probably able to blend sounds and word parts to read

simple words. The student is also likely using a variety of strategies to figure out

words, such as pictures, story patterns, and phonics.

Probable Reader 775-900

Student is becoming proficient at recognizing many words, both in and out of

context. The student spends less time identifying and sounding out words, and

more time understanding what was read. Probable readers can blend sounds and

word parts to read words and sentences more quickly, smoothly, and

independently than students in the other stages of development.
