New Name, Shorter Assessment, Continued Excellence

New Name, Same i-Ready Insights

Starting in school year 2026–2027, the name of the i-Ready Diagnostic will change to i-Ready Inform for Reading and for Mathematics.

This new name better reflects the power and the primary purpose of our adaptive assessment: to equip teachers, families, and students with the information they need to guide learning.

While it may have a new name, the assessment will maintain the valid, reliable data, easy-to-use reports, and tailored support educators expect from i-Ready.

A Shorter Assessment That Strikes the Right Balance

With only 180 instructional days in a school year, every minute counts. Time spent assessing students must support what matters most: student learning.

We’re committed to striking the right balance of providing trusted, actionable insights with more efficient testing, so teachers have more time to teach.

i-Ready Inform will have a shorter test with fewer questions, helping teachers get back to instruction more quickly.*

The i-Ready Inform Promise

i-Ready Inform will continue to deliver the data, instructional resources, and tools that make i-Ready so actionable in classrooms, including:

• Trusted Accuracy: Valid, reliable data trusted by one million educators and counting
• Streamlined for All: Reports that educators, students, and families can easily understand
• Confident Teaching: Educators can drive learning growth with the high expectations and tailored support every student deserves.

*Additional details will be shared throughout this fall and winter. The shortened version may not be immediately available for all state uses.
