Reading Assessments

Designed to illuminate student learning with a full suite of thoughtful, research-backed measures of student performance

Reading Diagnostic

An adaptive assessment that provides teachers with actionable insight into student needs, performance, and growth

Better Precision through Adaptive Assessment

By adapting to student responses and assessing a broad range of skills—including skills above and below a student’s chronological grade—the i-Ready Diagnostic pinpoints student ability level and identifies the specific skills students need to learn to accelerate their growth.

Quality Results Start with Quality Items

i-Ready Assessment items are built by design to measure college and career readiness standards. Students using i-Ready can effectively demonstrate skills and standards mastery while building comfort and familiarity with item types like the ones seen on state tests.
