[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Iready is a joke. Most teachers will tell you they give zero weight to it and that it’s not an accurate reflection of a child’s ability in the younger grades. Don’t stress about those scores, especially fall when kids have been out of school for 3 months![/quote]

Maybe so, but Fall iReady is now part of the AAP packet for the eligibility decisions. [/quote]

Iready replaced the DRA.  A high iready verbal should signal that your kid is able to handle AAPIV classroom reading speed.[/quote]

That’s determined by ePRF (passage reading fluency) score, as well, which is part of the criteria that determines whether the advanced box is checked for reading.  [/quote]

I would guess that the iready (verbal) score is particularly important for ESOL applicants. I know several brilliant ESOL kids who didn't make AAP in their first try due to their lack of English skills. By the second year, they spoke English as well as native speakers. My kids are at an ES where most of the ESOL kids are DCs of diplomats, so YMMV.
