i-Ready Assessment

Teacher-Led Lessons to Target Each Skill

Tools for Instruction

The hard work of connecting digital and classroom resources is often left to the teacher. iReady is different because it uses rich assessment data to provide teachers with a complete picture of student performance and ties this data directly to resources that will accelerate growth.

Tools for Instruction are actionable, in-the-moment lesson plans for addressing skills gaps identified by the iReady Diagnostic. These lessons, available at point-of-use in iReady reports as well as in the Teacher Toolbox, are perfect for:

  • Delivering differentiated small group and one-on-one instruction, informed by data
  • Reteaching challenging skills and standards using new strategies and activities
  • Flexible usage by a lead teacher, intervention specialist, or classroom aid
