Most STARI teachers teach STARI as an intervention in addition to students’ ELA class. But since STARI is a complete, cohesive curriculum, teachers who have taught it during an ELA period or block have found that it’s possible to extend and add to STARI, rather than integrate STARI into another curriculum. For example, while writing may not be a focus of STARI, teachers may extend and develop writing assignments that build on the activities and themes in STARI.
