iReady

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 opportunities for growth, 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:

• The i-Ready Diagnostic Is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s instructional priorities. 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.
• i-Ready Personalized Instruction Provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and opportunities for improvement, 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 do I get my student started?

If your student’s school has advised what they should work on, follow this guidance to keep your student’s learning aligned with the current curriculum. Within the i-Ready program, your student will be able to select:

1. Reading or Mathematics Lessons: Note that some schools will have purchased just one subject, in which case your student will only see that option on their screen.

2. My Path Lessons or Teacher-Assigned Lessons: My Path lessons are assigned to your student based on their latest results on the i-Ready Diagnostic. Note that Teacher-Assigned Lessons will only appear as a choice on the screen if a teacher has manually assigned lessons.

3. Learning Games: These games help your student build mathematics skills in fun ways. To access the games, your student will need to choose Math in the upper left-hand corner of the To Do screen and then click on Learning Games in the bottom navigation bar. Note that Learning Games are available to students if the school is using i-Ready Personalized Instruction for Mathematics and has enabled the use of the games for students.

Where can my student and I see the progress being made?

1. You and your student can monitor progress by clicking on My Progress in the bottom navigation bar. On the My Progress page, you will be able to see:

a. Time-On-Task: The number of minutes your student has spent this week (Monday– Sunday) on i-Ready Personalized Instruction

b. Lessons Passed: The total number of lessons your student has passed this school year

c. Lesson Streak: How many lessons your student has passed in a row d. Completed Work: The name and quiz score for each lesson your student has taken

How can I see how my student performed on the i-Ready Diagnostic?

Once your student has completed the Diagnostic, their teacher has access to your student’s results. The teacher may share the results with you in a parent conference, by sending you a copy of the report, or by providing a code you can use to access the For Families Report on your student’s dashboard (if your district uses this method). For more information and support, visit the i-Ready Family Center: Understand Your Student’s Diagnostic Results.

If Your District Does Not Use the For Families Report If your district does not use the For Families Report on the student dashboard, the teacher may share the results with you directly as described above. For more information, you will see a link to the i-Ready Family Center on your student’s dashboard where you can find resources and helpful tools to understand your student’s results and help support them at home.

If Your District Uses the For Families Report If your district uses the For Families Report on the student dashboard, you can access the report to see how your student performed on the Diagnostic. Have your student sign in to i-Ready and you will see For Families in the upper right-hand corner. When you select it, you will see two options: Family Center and For Families Report:

1. Family Center links to resources and helpful tools to support your student at home.

2. For Families Report allows you to view your student’s results.

Ensure you have the District Report Code shared by your student’s teacher or school to access their results.
