Our class will be taking the mid-year iReady diagnostic in math this week.
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your child’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 I do to help?
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to:
- Get a good night’s sleep and eat a full breakfast.
- Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
- Try not to worry about questions they do not know—remind them that it is expected they will only get about half of the questions correct.
- Be respectful of other students who take longer to finish.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning! I look forward to sharing i-Ready information with you during our upcoming conferences. If you have any questions about i-Ready, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting:
