[quote=Anonymous]A few points that might be helpful for parents freaking out. (teacher here home with a sick baby). The i-ready does not meaningfully test comprehension. Yes, there are passages. But the test is weighed in a way where those make up only 40 percent of your child's score. The other 60 percent. Phonics, phonemic awareness vocab, etc. Your kids are maxing out on these and probably testing on grade level or slightly above on the comprehension sections. This is skewing the scores higher (oddly, if your child is dyslexic it basically tanks the scores hence showing a real issue -- that's why the i-ready was really a screener for that reading issue but they managed to sell it to replace an actual teacher reading solo with your kid and assessing their skills with that). The reading comprehension section was indeed harder. The state is making the test more challenging on almost a yearly basis. So, this drift of scores down is expected. [/quote]
