What Is i-Ready?

i-Ready is an online program for reading and/or mathematics that will help your student’s teacher(s) determine your student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows your teacher(s) to meet your student exactly where they are and provides data to increase your student’s learning gains. i-Ready consists of two parts: Diagnostic and Personalized Instruction.

i-Ready Diagnostic

The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions. The purpose of this is not to give your student a score or grade, but instead to determine how best to support your student’s learning.
 

i-Ready Personalized Instruction

i-Ready Personalized Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn.

How will i-Ready help my child learn?

• i-Ready gives teachers feedback on your child's strengths and areas for growth.
• The results of the diagnostic will help your child’s teachers identify exactly where your child needs to develop, as well as where his or her strengths are.
• Teachers can use this information to design instruction that meets the unique needs of your child. And because the diagnostic is taken a few times throughout the school year, your child’s teacher will be able to measure progress and growth over the course of the year.

What is the i-Ready Parent Report?

• This report tells you the score your child received on the diagnostic. It also tells you if the score is approaching grade level, on grade level, or above grade level.
• It also describes each “domain,” or area of learning, that the student was assessed in, along with the placement level in each domain. After each diagnostic, the Parent Report is updated, allowing you to compare progress throughout the year.
• If you have any questions about the Parent Report, please contact your child’s teacher.
