Ways to Keep Learning Alive this Summer!
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to:
Get a good night's sleep and eat a full breakfast the day of the assessment.
Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
Try not to worry about questions they do not know - remind them that they are expected to get only about half of the questions correct.
Be respectful of other students who take longer to finish.
Use paper and pencil to show work for math questions.
To support your child's learning with online lessons, you can:
Discuss your child's progress on their i-Ready lessons.
Celebrate your child's learning and growth.
If your child's teacher encourages them to use i-Ready lessons at home, reference these Fridge Tips to provide support.
Note: For the parent webinar in English, the presenter began recording early, so skip to 2:42 mark to start watching the video.
It is an adaptive assessment that aligned to CA Common Core State Standards.
Identifies student's strengths and weaknesses in reading and math.
Diagnostic assessments (reading and math) will be administered three times per year.
Once students finished the Diagnostic, the results are used to provide customized and differentiated instruction to meet their needs.
i-Ready scale scores place each student into one of the five distinct Placement Levels, allowing a detailed understanding of the student's performance. This information helps teachers identify each student's strengths and if additional instruction is needed in any specific content area.
Scale scores range from 100 - 800
Placement Levels:
Above Grade Level
Mid Grade Level
Early On Grade Level
Two Grade Levels Below
Three or More Grade Levels Below
i-Ready Diagnostic assesses skills across the reading and math domains aligned to college and career-readiness standards:
Reading Domains: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, High-Frequency Words, Vocabulary, and Comprehension (Literature and Informational Text)
Math Domains: Number and Operations, Algebra and Algebraic Thinking, Measurement and Data, and Geometry
The i-Ready assessment measures student's performance and progress in certain foundational skills for reading and mathematics, known as "domains". The domains tested by the i-Ready assessment are defined in the link below. Students receive questions in six domains for reading and four domains for mathematics.
