What is i-Ready?
i-Ready is an assessment that provides a “diagnosis” of a student’s current levels, which helps to inform future instruction. About 50% of the questions should be “harder” or potentially “brand new” information due to its adaptability. This allows for more accurately pinpointing student needs down to the sub-skill level, providing valid individualized results. Upon completion, your student can jump into i-Ready’s personalized lessons!
