The Importance of iReady Testing
i-Ready is an invaluable tool that helps us understand and support your child’s unique learning needs. Through regular assessments, we can pinpoint their strengths and identify areas where they may need additional support. This personalized approach allows us to tailor our instruction to ensure each student can progress at their own pace and reach their full potential.
We believe that i-Ready testing is a valuable resource that will help us achieve our goal of providing an exceptional education for your child. We appreciate your support and cooperation in ensuring that your child participates in these assessments and engages with the personalized learning plans.
If you have any questions or would like more information about i-Ready testing, please feel free to contact us. We are always here to support you and your child’s educational journey.
