Testing Information:
We are continuing with i-Ready testing this school year. Below is information on this test.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we will be testing Reading and on Thursday and Friday we will be testing Math.
i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction helps teachers to effectively assess their students and then provide individualized instruction based on each student’s unique needs.
i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction assesses and teaches the following skill areas:
Reading • Phonological Awareness • Phonics • High-Frequency Words • Comprehension | Math • Number and Operations • Algebra and Algebraic Thinking • Measurement and Data |
i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction begins by giving students an adaptive assessment in reading or math. An adaptive assessment is a test that automatically adjusts the difficulty of the questions according to each student’s performance in order to determine his or her abilities in reading or math. iReady is a very different kind of test that presents students with questions that can be both too easy and too hard. It is designed to do this until the assessment finds exactly the level at which the student is performing. Therefore, your child will certainly see some items above his or her level.
The assessment efficiently assesses students across multiple grade levels, allowing for identification of root causes of students’ struggles or for identification of areas where a student is ready for further challenge. This information will then provide the teacher with a “road map” to instructional remediation or enrichment.
In addition, i-Ready Diagnostic & Instruction supports the teachers and administrators at the school. The program provides a series of comprehensive reports designed to make classroom instruction more effective. These reports include data about student performance as well as detailed teaching suggestions. They help educators make informed decisions about the instructions that are right for your child. Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office or your child’s teacher.
In addition to he iReady diagnostic, students in K-1st grade will be completing the Fastbridge assessment throughout the next two weeks with their teacher. We have also done this one over the last several years.
We do ask that students get a good nights rest, eat a good breakfast and are here on time for the testing days.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Mr. Lobaugh
