About i-Ready
i-Ready is an online program for reading and/or mathematics that will help your student’s teacher(s) determine your student’s needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the school year.
i-Ready allows your teacher(s) to meet your student exactly where they are and provides data to increase your student’s learning gains. i-Ready consists of two parts: Diagnostic and Personalized Instruction.
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts its questions to suit your student’s needs. Each item a student sees is individualized based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier questions.
i-Ready Personalized Instruction provides students with lessons based on their individual skill level and needs, so your student can learn at a pace that is just right for them. These lessons are fun and interactive to keep your student engaged as they learn.
MetaMetrics, the makers of the Lexile Framework, prepared the chart below to describe typical Lexile levels by grade. To interpret the chart, find your child's grade level and refer to the right-hand column to find the typical Lexile range for students in that grade. For example, most students in 7th grade typically are reading between a 735L and 1065L. Keep in mind that the reading abilities of young people in the same grade at school can vary just as much as their shoe sizes.
| Grade | Typical Lexile level* |
|---|---|
| 1 | Up to 300L |
| 2 | 140L to 500L |
| 3 | 330L to 700L |
| 4 | 445L to 810L |
| 5 | 565L to 910L |
| 6 | 665L to 1000L |
| 7 | 735L to 1065L |
| 8 | 805L to 1100L |
| 9 | 855L to 1165L |
| 10 | 905L to 1195L |
| 11 and 12 | 940L to 1210L |
*The lower number represents the 25th percentile and the higher number represents the 75th percentile for typical students at that grade level
