[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So your daughter blows though it and that invalidates it? [/quote]

She doesn't really make an effort therefore she answers questions incorrectly and gets abysmally low scores.[/quote]

Wouldn't a high IQ child know what's a stake and not click through randomly?? I guess kids can be smart and at the same time have no impulse control, but I wouldn't think such kids would thrive in a gifted or acceleration program.[/quote]

No, a high IQ 7-yr old doesn’t know what’s at “stake” when they take the iready. What kind of ridiculous comment is this? There are plenty of children thriving in AAP w impulse control issues. [/quote]

You need to explain high-stakes things to your child in an age-appropriate way, explain the relationship between answering questions correctly and getting a high score,  take practice tests at home, and offer incentives. If you don't do things things and then b*t*h and pout about low scores, you are a moron. There are no kids in AAP who have such poor impulse control that they are answering questions randomly on high-stakes exams.[/quote]

I wasn’t the OP, I’m a different parent and my child gets high 90s on I-Ready, but your comment was ridiculous and warranted a response. There are absolutely kids w impulse control issues in AAP who don’t do what their parents tell them. Also, making your kid take practice iready tests at home to get high scores is absurd. Many of us have kids scoring high 90s w/o needing prep. [/quote]
