Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) - formerly PARCC
The Illinois State Board of Education requires all Illinois public school students in grades 3-8 to participate in state-administered testing in reading and math. The 2020 Illinois state achievement test is called the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and it replaces PARCC. See below for more information about the IAR.
What happened to the PARCC exam?
The Illinois Assessment of Readiness replaced the PARCC exam in 2019. As the IAR uses the same test content and format as the PARCC exam, there will be no noticeable changes for students this year. This is somewhat advantageous as it will allow districts to continue tracking year-to-year student performance.
How can parents help to prepare their children for the IAR test?
The IAR/PARCC website offers some suggestions to parents:
Read a combination of fiction and non-fiction aloud or with your child. Look for subjects of interest—from sports heroes to dinosaurs.
Discuss and “do” real-life math with your child. Help him/her know basic math facts.
Discuss the new tests with your child. Try to ensure he/she is not scared or anxious about the new tests.
Explain to your child that the tests will initially be more challenging. Tell your child to do his/her best on the test and that you are there to help every step of the way.
After the test, review the results with your child. Bring the teacher into the discussion as needed.
Provide a quiet, comfortable place for studying at home and make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast before a test.
Above all, be positive and encouraging about the tests.
