Key Features That Distinguish i-Ready From Others

Before any instruction begins, it is imperative to understand the child’s individual learning needs.  The program aims to identify the child’s strengths and weaknesses in different domains of Math and English and begins instruction from where the child is confident. Building on a weak foundation does not serve the purpose of robust learning.

Since the program does not follow the one-size-fits-all approach, the diagnostic will provide you with the exact information on where your child skills levels are and also provide a personalized instructional pathway unique to your child’s learning needs.

The i-Ready diagnostic is one of the most distinguishing features of the LearnEasy247 program. An extremely powerful tool that not only diagnosis the individual child’s needs but also becomes the basis of a personalized learning path. The seamsless integration of diagnostic with instruction is unique and extremely useful for the parent and /or educator.

Consider this scenario. You have to purchase a shoe for your child. Will you seek a shoe for the child’s grade level or age group? Unlikely! You would have your child try the shoe on and see what’s the best fit for him/her. Similarly when you begin your child’s learning experience, it is critical to know what his/her individual needs are and build on what your child already knows. This report will give you a data-driven insight into your child’s academic skills in the two core academic subjects.

The Diagnostic Report helps your child understand his/her own unqiue needs and also provides you with insights on what the child know and what are the next steps of instruction.

i-Ready uses one of the most cutting-edge technologies to offer personalized learning to its users. With 8 Million users globally, it is a multi-award winning program with educators and school leadership implementing it in schools and trusting the program with learning intervention of millions of students.   https://www.curriculumassociates.com/research-and-efficacy/i-ready-evidence-impact

The learning component provides your child with the following:

• Personalized pathways to growth with precise instruction that is guided by i-Ready Assessment data
• Motivates students to persist in building their skills through games, rewards and certificates

Provides scaffolded support that meets their individual needs, especially English Learners ( children who speak English as a second language ).

The philosophy on which the program is built is driven by one simple truth: programs must rise to the challenge of offering equitable access to high‑quality instruction. The unique approach that the first steps is starting with data that provides visibility into the learning; data that reaches beyond what parents or educators may observe; and data that is not just rich, but razor sharp in its insight, and that is delivered in user-friendly formats so parents and educators can benefit from it at a glance.

The belief that to utilize data to its best advantage, it must directly correlate or seamlessly integrate to targeted instruction, parents and educators can trust, so children get exactly the materials they need, and parents and educators don’t lose valuable resources and time seeking them out.

Learning Games strengthen fluency, number sense, and conceptual
understanding of challenging math standards in a way that is designed to be fun and engaging for students.

Your child will get additional practice to improve mathematics fluency and skills that will foster internal motivation while encouraging productive struggle.

Learning Games are integrated within i-Ready’s learning framework and have built-In differentiation to target each student’s needs:

• The range of available games is determined by the student’s grade level, and the level of difficulty is determined by their most recent Diagnostic for Mathematics placement and performance on the games.
• As students advance within the games, level choices will evolve, ensuring the difficulty for each game is just right for every student.

Measuring learning growth is important to determine efficacy of the learning routine (time, quality) as well as success of the program itself. 

Children are positively motivated when they see growth in their own learning and become a more active participant in the program. 

Follow-up diagnostics are a critical feature within i-Ready since these diagnostics integrate learning across time and provide critical information about student’s learning success. 

As your child’s mentor in this learning journey it is important that you have an in depth view of your child’s performance on i-Ready and you motivate them further by having objective discussions and meaningful discourse while evaluating progress and setting targets.

It is important to make the child feel responsible for his/her learning. As a principle the ownership of learning should be given to the child while the parent plays the part of the facilitator. Having an analytical approach where progress can be measured through data makes this partnership productive and rewarding.

This feature plays an important role as it gives insights to parents on the learning gains of their children based on data.
