Today your child will be bringing home his/her child's iReady Winter Benchmark report. Students in Kindergarten-8th grade took the iReady online these past two weeks.
What are you looking for on these reports? GROWTH! Remember - iReady is not a standardized test: it is a progress monitoring system showing your child's status and growth within specific domains in reading and math.
Some Key Information for You:
Growth Report: this assessment shows how your child has grown since September in the benchmark areas in reading and math assessed by iReady. It is one of many assessments we use to determine how your child is learning and growing in reading and math.
Graph: the second graph shows the growth from the benchmark assessment in August. The green field indicates grade level (the target), the arrow shows the growth since August.
Where "Should" My Child Score: your child should be "approaching" the grade level they are in. We are mid way through the year, they should be getting close to meeting the standards for their grade level. Some students are "at" or "above" the grade level, some are still on their way there, and will keep learning until June!
Lexile: a type of reading level. When you go to the library, look for books that are in your child's Lexile range and it will be a perfect fit for your child's current reading skills.
Skills Progress: these are the unique domains of skills assessed on the iReady. These are considered key areas of learning in the subjects of reading and math and represent key areas of the curriculum they are learning here at STS.
Tested Out: your child has met the standard at this grade level and does not need further assessment this year. On to higher concepts!
Attached is a sample Family Report. Your child's will look very similar. Please take a moment to review your child's report. You will have the opportunity to discuss your child's growth and progress the child's teacher(s) during parent teacher conferences on February 12 and 15.
