The i-Ready Assessment is a computer-adaptive assessment that tracks student growth and performance. By adapting based on student response patterns, i-Ready Assessment derives information from a limited number of test items. This allows the assessment to more accurately and efficiently pinpoint students’ needs and helps teachers better understand student challenges. i-Ready Personalized Instruction uses insights from the i-Ready Assessment to create a personalized path of engaging online lessons. Students receive instruction and practice in areas where they need the most support.

Summary of Existing Research 🛈

Curriculum Associates leverages longitudinal data to examine trends in student growth and achievement on the iReady assessment. iReady Personalized Instruction data is also examined to how performance in specific domains correlate with later achievement. Usage data may be used to determine to what degree student engagement correlates with implementation fidelity. Examples of research using this data may be accessed here, please filter for National Research: https://www.curriculumassociates.com/research-and-efficacy/research-library

Abstract / Description

How did disrupted access to early childhood services manifest in school readiness for young students? To explore this question, we examined fall performance on the i–Ready Diagnostic, a criterion-referenced assessment offering insight into student performance relative to grade-level standards. To accurately reflect trends in student performance across the US, we leveraged a nationally
representative sample of more than five million Grades K–2 students from 2019 (i.e., pre-pandemic) and following the return to in-person schooling from 2021 to 2023. Consistent with other research,
our data suggest students are entering school less prepared for grade-level learning and more students are placing further behind. While reading performance shows some small signs of
recovery, mathematics performance remains stagnant following an initial drop. Grade K students show latent impacts. Their performance did not decline immediately post-pandemic, but rather
declined in fall 2022 and 2023, with limited signs of recovery. Examining trends by demographic group, we see historic racial/ethnic and economic inequities persist.
