i-Ready/Classlink FAQ
At the elementary level, our teachers are going to provide 3 continuous learning opportunities in both reading and math through iReady every week during our school closure. These are opportunities for your child(ren) to participate in work to review, practice, master, and enrich the learning that has occurred so far this year.
There are a couple of options for accessing these online learning opportunities.

What is i-Ready?
i-Ready online lessons provide students with explicit instruction, practice, and feedback that allows them to learn a skill while promoting a growth mindset. The lessons also include a short, scored quiz to help you, your child, and your child’s teacher know how they did. Lessons are based on research on effective online learning practices and are tested extensively with students to ensure they engage learning of all abilities and ages.
Note that during typical i-Ready use, lessons are automatically assigned to students following a Diagnostic in Mathematics to address their identified individual learning needs. This will continue for math, in addition to lessons that have been manually assigned by your child’s teacher. Given these extraordinary circumstances, we have been given access to the Reading portion of i-Ready. Your child has not taken a Reading diagnostic, and for this reason, will solely be using Reading lessons that have been manually assigned by your child’s teacher.
