          📘 What Is i‑Ready?

              i‑Ready is an online, adaptive educational tool used by grades K–8 for Reading and Math.

             It has two components:

1.      Diagnostic Assessment: A computer-adaptive test that gets harder or easier depending on your child’s responses—designed to pinpoint their current skill level. youtube.com+7i-readycentral.com+7corningelementary.org+7corningelementary.org+1eurekausd.org+1

2.      Personalized Instruction: Tailored lessons built from the diagnostic results to address specific learning gaps and move students forward. i-readycentral.com+1corningelementary.org+1
