What Do the Stars Represent?

Students begin a spelling test with three stars. These stars indicate students' scores as they work through the assessment. Each time a student does not answer the question correctly, they lose a star. If in the end, the student has one star, they achieved 80% (because they got 8 out of 10 questions, that’s a B in our book); 2 stars indicate 90% (because they got 9 out of 10 questions, that’s an A); three stars earn 100%.

(The Level 1 Unit Assessment has only one star because the student needs to earn 100% to proceed.)

Do Students Need Three Stars to Progress in CAPIT?

Students do not need three stars to progress. Students can progress in CAPIT with two or even a single star. Students don't need to go back and earn three stars on every lesson, but they are certainly welcome to do so.
