i-Ready is backed by the most practical and applicable efficacy research in education. i-Ready Personalized Instruction—the system of personalized lessons designed to fill students’ knowledge gaps and help every student reach grade-level proficiency—has been studied by numerous third-party and independent organizations, as well as Curriculum Associates’ own Research team, in partnership with educators throughout the country. A summary of i-Ready efficacy studies, including independent and third-party research, is below. Read the research detail.
Many rigorous research studies meeting ESSA Level 2 (Moderate) evidence standards demonstrated positive and statistically significant gains for students receiving i-Ready Personalized Instruction above that of their control group counterparts in both reading and mathematics on internal and external outcome measures.
Several independent studies (i.e., those conducted without guidance or funding by Curriculum Associates) found that i-Ready Personalized Instruction students outperformed their peers, making positive and statistically significant gains on state test measures such as the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA), Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA), and Utah’s Student Assessment of Growth and Excellence (SAGE).
Multiple small- and large-scale studies, including those conducted by independent and third-party researchers, have shown i-Ready has a positive impact in both reading and mathematics on students who are striving learners, English Learners (ELs), students with disabilities, and students with socioeconomic disadvantages as well as disaggregated results for students who are Black and Latino.
