FastBridge and STAR Reading Spanish

kids taking assessment

We continue to assess Fastbridge (K-6) and STAR Reading Spanish (2-6).

FastBridge and STAR are available three times each school year.  With the additon of Multitudes as the State-Mandated screener for grades K-2, students in these grades must be assessed using Multitudes during the Winter window for your school calendar.  Teachers of K-2 will still have the option of assessing with FastBridge during the winter cycle. 

Below are the Screener dates and guidance documents for fall, winter, and spring along with data analysis protocols to help inform instructional decisions and establish next steps.

FastBridge Interventions

The FastBridge Screening to Intervention Plans are designed to link your screening data to your instruction. Please keep in mind that the plans are a recommendation and a starting point for instruction based on the Universal Screening data available, hence adjustments and flexibility will prove helpful. 

The Plans, which include Whole Group Plans and Small Group Plans, are directly linked on the screening to Intervention plan and can also be located in  the Training & Resources  tab on the FastBridge Platform.
