i-Ready®, is an adaptive assessment and personalized instructional program for reading and math. Adaptive tests match the difficulty of test questions to the ability of each student. As students answer questions correctly, the test gets more difficult. As students answer questions incorrectly, the test gets easier. In both cases, the test adapts to find the precise ability of the test taker.
i-Ready helps teachers assess the needs of every student in their class and monitor their progress throughout the school year. It also provides differentiated, individualized online and classroom instruction based on the skills that each student needs. i-Ready Diagnostic is given three times during the school year: at the beginning of the school year, middle of the year, and end of the year. The results of the adaptive assessment provide teachers with an instructional course of action personalized for each student. Immediately following each assessment, i-Ready places your child into online instruction to support his or her progress in mastering essential skills in reading and math.
