Curriculum Associates - I-Ready left me shook. nuff said?
I'm a student and this thing is a waste of time and energy. It appears you enter 2009 when you get on the site because it's that bad and seemingly outdated.
The characters are annoying and hard to listen to, not to mention their names! It's clear what the animators were having for lunch that day. Pepper Jackie and Sweet T? Mm.
Sweet, sweet creativity. The website just looks like it's recording and looking through your webcam, it looks extremely sketchy. But that's just how it looks, the education aspect of it is even worse. I know, didn't think it could get much worse than that, huh?
I'm going into high school this year and I-Ready is just now teaching me how to divide and multiply. Not your traditional division and multiplication, but 10 thousand extra steps to receive the same answer as you would in 2. Gotta love common core! I'm at the store and I want these Oreos, but 4 boxes!
One box is $3! Better whip out my papers and my pencils and waste 20 minutes figuring out 3 x 4 instead of using my phone that has a calculator! Moving on to Reading, I sure do love reading the same article 4 times over until the only thing I see when I close my eyes are frozen vegetables, and the only thing I hear at night when the house is quiet is "Yes indeedy!" and "Awesomesauce!". It's just horrid.
I only see pink and the sounds of their screechy voices haunt me. Uh oh, I can hear them. I hear their terrible puns and jokes echoing through the hallway. I hear their poorly drawn shoes clicking against the wooden flooring.
Axel and Jake are holding weapons ready to tear down the door to get to me. Pepper Jackie and that highly disproportionate friend of hers are reading articles aloud, slowly. I'm in the corner quaking. I can't...
I must surrender. They are just too powerful and I'm too weak.. can't.... type..
I-Ready is trash but A for effort! or lack thereof ^-^
Reason of review: Bad quality.
Preferred solution: Get rid of it. It's only making children dumber..
Curriculum Associates Pros: Pretty easy to complete.
