i-Ready assessment connects with i-Ready literacy products across grade levels and needs.

Literacy for a Lifetime

Research has proven that the most effective literacy instruction is driven by evidence-based approaches. That’s why i-Ready literacy programs are based in the Science of Reading research and provide systematic, explicit instruction and clarity on the concrete steps necessary for progression across increasingly complex skills and strategies. Just as i-Ready data drives growth for millions of students every day, Science of Reading instruction is at work in i-Ready literacy programs building proficient readers and writers.

Each aspect of our literacy programs—the Science of Reading-based instruction, decisions backed by data, knowledge-building text sets, lessons scaffolded toward grade-level proficiency, and embedded professional learning—helps you deliver first-rate instruction. Everything in every literacy product here at Curriculum Associates is directed toward building the best possible future for every student.
