CARS & STARS Online is a digital reading comprehension program that aligns with the Australian National Curriculum v9.0 for English. The twelve core reading comprehension strategies that underpin the entirety of the CARS & STARS Online program are all – explicitly or tacitly, directly or indirectly – concerned with the process of analysing and understanding texts better, creating readers and students whose depth of understanding and ability to process information, both in English and consequently as learners in all subjects, will be of benefit to them throughout their lives.
The following document is intended to illustrate the correlations between the approach taken in the CARS & STARS Online program and the Australian National Curriculum v9.0 for English (ACARA, 2022). It includes a list of the individual F–10 content descriptions that are most directly touched upon in the broad span of the CARS & STARS Online program. These curriculum content codes will be included in the Student Reading Strategy Analysis Reports for teacher's quick reference.
However, it is important to always remember that because CARS & STARS Online is concerned with reading mastery and the gradual development of important reading skills from the very beginning of schooling it indirectly touches upon all aspects of English reading instruction as a matter of course across the whole program.
