Typical implementations of i-Ready require that students take the i-Ready Diagnostic before beginning instruction and uses the results of this adaptive assessment to personalize each student's online learning and help teachers determine strengths and areas of need. Given the situation unfolding across the country, we have determined a way for teachers to assign students instruction without completing an assessment.

We welcome all educators who have been granted access to i-Ready Online Instruction-only during these extraordinary circumstances.
