ALL STARS Program

Welcome to All STARS, an intervention program supporting students in first and second grades to develop strong reading skills. All STARS is a 30-week, extended-day program that runs Monday to Thursday each week. Children in the All STARS program arrive early for their school day to receive small group and individualized reading instruction. The program focuses on phonemic awareness, phonics skills, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension according to each child's needs. The goal of All STARS is to provide children with the proper tools and skills to become successful readers and confident individuals. Transportation and breakfast are provided to our All STARS at no charge.
