Curriculum Associates - Teacher's Critic
I'm a middle grades math teacher and I am not a fan of the iReady program AT ALL. I cannot count on the data that is provided by the program because my students despise it.
They take their diagnostics, but I'm sure they do not always give their best efforts. After being forced to do 45 minutes/week, plus their biweekly or monthly growth-monitoring, they are sick of the program. It is described as "degrading" by many of my kids. The way that the characters speak and the slow pace of the lessons are annoying.
Also, iReady has made end-of-the-year projections for my students that are much lower than what really happens. I think there is a definite discrepancy between the iReady projections and the Georgia Milestones results.
Please address these concerns so that you can provide an impactful resource to students for mathematics. Khan Academy is really showing you up, and their site is FREE.
Reason of review: Bad quality.
