[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]iReady is a crock of shit. My daughter clicks through and got horrible ready scores. I spoke with her teacher, the reading specialist, and the math specialist and they all said that her actual performance is significantly better than iReady.[/quote]

Well, any test is a crock of sh!t for someone who just "clicks through." You can't really blame the test for that ....[/quote]
Your defensiveness about iready is super weird. Every teacher I've talked to has said that iready is useless.[/quote]

One of the commonly cited issues with the iReady is that kids just click through so that they can get to the games at the end. All of my Teacher friends tell me that the iReady is meaningless for a large group of kids because of the click through issue. They also tell me that there is no way to recover from a mistake. One mistake and it drops to easier questions and there is no way to build up to that same level. So a low score might mean that a kid is missing important knowledge or skill or that the kid misread one question but is probably fine in that area. DS has one area in the reading iReady that this happens to every test. The Teachers tell us they know what is happening because it is one area, it has changed with every iReady, and they don't see any indication of there being an issue in the actual classwork.  And he passes advanced on the SOL every year.

None of my Teacher friends think the iReady is particularly useful.[/quote]
