“With i‑Ready, students work on their academic level. It is predictive of end-of-level performance. The program reports help to prescribe needed instruction. It also provides easy-to-follow lesson plans for additional instruction. Our school is showing exemplary progress among schools of like demographics. We were selected as a National Title I Distinguished School for 2017.”

—Angela Gronewald, Instructional Coach, Ogden City School District

“[i-Ready] helps us to not wait until SAGE to ensure that all students K–6 are proficient and making progress . . . Other programs that we have seen just do not have the teacher-friendly reports and supports that i-Ready gives us.”
