Reorganized Series and Unit Numbers – plus a new STARI Unit!

SERP’s Strategic Adolescent Reading Intervention (STARI) curriculum is now organized into three series, with Series 1 intended for 6th grade, Series 2 for 7th, and Series 3 for 8th and 9th. All three series address similar reading needs, but the series 2 and 3 topics and reading materials are increasingly sophisticated.

 

Each updated series now includes three units, with each unit’s lesson plans written for approximately 40 instructional days.

Development of STARI was led by Lowry Hemphill (Wheelock College) through a SERP collaboration with Harvard University and four Massachusetts school districts. The research reported here was supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through Grant R305F100026 to the Strategic Education Research Partnership as part of the Reading for Understanding Research Initiative.
