    The document discusses using the STAR strategy from the book "Promoting Executive Function in the Classroom" to help a student named Kelsey improve her reading comprehension, writing, and executive functioning skills. The STAR strategy is a graphic organizer that guides students to identify the who, what, when, where, why, and how of a text to focus on main ideas and details. Using this strategy for their novel "The Giver" can help Kelsey better understand and remember what she reads. It will also support learning new vocabulary by organizing term definitions and examples. The strategy benefits Kelsey by providing a tool that can be generalized across subjects and adapted for different grade levels.

    STAR Strategy for Kelsey


    The STAR strategy is a strategy on pages 22-23 and 121-123 from Promoting Executive
    Function in the Classroom by Lynn Meltzer. It is a strategy that helps improve executive function
    skills, reading skills, and writing skills. According to Meltzer (2010), the key elements of who,
    what, when, where, why, and how focus students attention on the main ideas and supporting
    details; the complexity of the format shifts as the complexity of the information increases, (p.
    121). I selected the STAR strategy because it is a graphic organizer that would help increase
    Kelseys reading comprehension skills, as well as learning new vocabulary. This strategy will
    also increase her executive functioning skills because it will help Kelsey remember, plan,
    organize, prioritize, and shift between the main idea of the reading and the details. As students
    actively read both fiction and nonfiction, the STAR chart helps them to stop, reflect, and record
    key information, thereby enhancing their memory of important facts, (Meltzer, 2010, p. 121).
    This strategy would benefit my student in maintenance because it can be taught early on in
    elementary grades, then modified used for more complex tasks in higher grades. There are also
    multiple formats of this strategy, so we will use one for main ideas and another for learning new
    vocabulary words. This strategy would benefit my student in generalization because it is a tool
    that can be used across subjects for summarizing reading material, organizing ideas for writing,
    taking notes, and studying. Since Kelsey has deficits in reading comprehension and learning new
    vocabulary, this graphic organizer will help her focus on the major themes and main ideas of the
    text she is reading, as well as the new vocabulary. If she uses this strategy effectively, her
    academic performance will be increased, which will increase her independence and resilience.
    On the next page, I have provided an outline for Kelsey to use throughout the whole text The
    Giver. I would suggest that she take the time to fill this graphic organizer out after each chapter.
    On the third page, I have provided an outline for Kelsey to use for new vocabulary terms we will
    be learning from the text. As a class, we will fill this graphic organizer out together.9
