[quote=Anonymous]We're not in FCPS, but also take i-Ready. My second grader is TERRIBLE at it, always has been. She's been in the highest math group since K, but scores a solid grade level below on i-Ready (which is mid 50's nationally percentile wise). I had a long talk with her teacher this year because I couldn't figure out if she had knowledge gaps or was just a bad test taker, and she confirmed what PP's said. Some kids are good test takers, but for others it's confusing and encourages guessing and leads to frustration. It also tests specific strategies, so if your child hasn't learned THOSE strategies before those strategies are taught in class, you can't answer those questions correctly unless you happen to be good at the test. It's still alarming, but I trust that her teachers know her abilities better than the test based on her class work and paper tests. I would push more if ability group placements were based on i-Ready, but luckily they don't seem to be at our school.[/quote]
