iReady Diagnostic
Kindergarten learners will be participating in the final iReady Diagnostic during the weeks of February 1- February 22. The Diagnostic will occur in small portions, over 4 or more days, during the testing window. Once learners have completed the Diagnostic they will work on the iReady online instruction, which will be adjusted based on their Diagnostic results, for the remainder of the year.
The iReady Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your child’s needs. Learners take the Diagnostic for both Math and Literacy. Each item a student sees is individualized 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 questions. The purpose of this is not to give your child a score or grade, but instead to determine how best to support your child’s learning.
After your child completes the iReady Diagnostic, they are assigned to different lessons in the iReady Online Instruction. These lessons incorporate kid-friendly videos and activities to introduce new concepts and reinforce what has been learned. In addition, once the Diagnostic is complete all families will receive a copy of the Family Report, which will give information on your child's performance and growth from the Fall.
There are many ways you can support your learner at home; including making sure they are well rested, providing access to a nutritious meal, talking positively about the Diagnostic and encouraging learners to try their best.
