i-Ready is an interactive online learning program that helps students build essential skills in reading and mathematics.

i-Ready starts with an online diagnostic test that students take in class to identify the specific skills each student needs to develop and measure academic growth through the school year. It also provides students with personalized online instruction and gives teachers guidance on how they can best support the needs of each and every student.

i-Ready encourages students to take ownership of their learning. Students get real-time feedback, see motivating messages, and earn credits after completing lessons that they can use to get rewards, such as games. i-Ready’s engaging environment draws students in right away and gets students of all ages excited about learning.

How can you help your child get the most out of i-Ready?

• Speak with your child about how using i-Ready will help him or her prepare for class work. Also explain that i-Ready will show teachers where your child is doing well and which topics need some more review.

• Encourage your child to take each lesson and quiz question seriously. Emphasize “thinking before clicking,” because just clicking through will not give teachers an accurate report of what your child knows and is able to do.

• Help your child identify and become familiar with the different parts of the student dashboard.

• Encourage your child to use the tools that will appear at the bottom of the screen in some lessons.

• Discuss your child’s results by looking at “My Progress” together to see the number of lessons your child has completed in i-Ready and the percentage of questions your child answered correctly in the quiz at the end of each lesson.

• Contact your child’s teacher about how often your child should practice at home, or with any other questions about i-Ready.

Dear Parents and Students,

This summer we are encouraging students to continue learning using the Imagine Language & Literacy program starting June 8th through July 31st. Imagine Language & Literacy is a computer-delivered language and literacy program that automatically creates a unique curriculum for each student based on his or her needs. Students should use the program 20 minutes a day, 100 minutes a week. This may sound like a lot, but don’t worry! Your student will love playing on the program and will be learning at the same time. Prizes will be awarded to students with great usage. Have fun! We look forward to a summer of learning!

Sincerely, Murrieta Valley Unified School District
