Interpreting I-ready scores?

[Anonymous]

Our second grader’s I-ready scores are in ParentVue. It just has a number so how do you know the percentile or how to interpret it? Thank you!

If you look in the document section, you'll see the report with percentiles.

But also I-ready is stupid and should not be used for anything. My child is a strong reader and got 50th percentile in ready, which is total BS.

Reading words off of a page and being called a strong reader is different than being able to comprehend. It may be BS to you but multiple assessments is a good way to gauge how well a child is truly doing.

Thank you! I’m surprised at my kid’s scores. Much lower than what I would have expected. Would be nice to see one of these tests just to understand why there’s a gap between these scores and his grades.

The i-ready is used for AAP placement and has replaced the DRA in how we talk about how kids are doing, FWIW.

-elementary teacher.

What kind of scores are they looking for for AAP?

Are you a teacher? Because every single teacher I've ever talked to about I-ready (including two different reading specialists, both of whom are highly focused on the science of reading) have told me I-ready is a fairly useless data point.

It seriously is a waste of time and students who have difficulty attending often space out and click through.

They do say that, but FCPS also is now using 2nd grade IReady scores in AAP decisions so you decide who you believe...

It must be new because my kid's IReady's math score was in the 60+ percentile, and they got into AAP.

Are you a teacher? Because people keep telling me this, but I also know that the people who tell me this spend a lot of time reading this forum. How do I know that it's true and not just something you read on here once and are repeating?

DP … It seems like the Iready scores are starting to be “considered,” but that the GBRS is king and the CogAt is the most important of the tests.

Good luck. Our school does not provide any documentation. The teacher’s can’t explain them. It’s pathetic!
