During the 2020-2021 school year, grades 6-8 have been using a Mathematics and Reading digital program called i-Ready. i-Ready determines your child’s strengths and areas for growth, personalizes their learning, and monitors their progress throughout the school year. Your child took an i-Ready diagnostic at the beginning of the year and will take another diagnostic this month to determine how much your child has grown. After the diagnostic, your child will automatically receive a personalized individual learning path with lessons that address your child’s specific learning needs.

Your student will be taking the i-Ready Diagnostic to ensure we have the clearest picture of their academic growth and to help them continue on their learning path.

The diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your child’s needs. There are two diagnostics, one for reading and a separate one for math. 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.

You play a crucial role in supporting your child. Learn how to help here: CurriculumAssociates.com/Teaching-Learning-2020/Home-Assessment-Family-Support
