iReady Reading Screener

What is i-Ready?

i-Ready is an online program that will help us determine student’s strengths and areas for growth as well as help us monitor their progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows us to meet your student where they are and provides us with data to inform instruction.

The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student receives is 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 ones. The purpose of this is not to give your child a score or grade but to determine how to best support their learning.

What can a parent do to help?

To help prepare your student for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to: 

• Get a good night’s sleep and eat a full breakfast each morning.

• Try their best on each question and try not to rush.

• Try not to worry about questions to which they do not know the answers—remind them that it is expected that they will only get about half of the questions correct.

• Be respectful of other students who take longer to finish.

What happens next?

The i-Ready Diagnostic will provide results that help teachers identify each student’s strengths and determine the next steps for instruction.
