Why i-Ready Literacy Tasks?

One-on-One Evaluations

The Literacy Tasks measure skills that are best evaluated individually with students. Using the tasks, educators can see firsthand how to best help students progress toward grade-level proficiency. These assessments for reading fluency are designed to help educators focus on every student’s individual needs.

Passage Reading Benchmark Assessment

Use this to determine whether students are meeting expectations in passage reading and gain deeper insights into students’ reading performance at grade level according to nationally recognized norms.

  • Available in both English and Spanish for Grades 1–6. Spanish Passage Reading Fluency Assessments require administration by Spanish-speaking educators.
  • Oral reading fluency assessments are imperative for successful reading comprehension. Oral reading helps improve students’ speed, word recognition, accuracy and fluency. Moreover, passage reading tasks enable instructors to monitor student development and identify areas in which they need improvement.

Progress Monitoring to Measure Effectiveness

For students receiving targeted reading intervention, i-Ready Literacy Progress Monitoring Tasks help track incremental improvements in your learners’ key foundational reading and fluency skills. Precreated aim lines track the effectiveness of the intervention (currently available for Passage Reading Fluency Tasks in English).

Research Based and Consistent with the Science of Reading

Rooted in the latest Science of Reading research, you can support reading intervention efforts, including Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered System of Supports, and best practices.
