You might wonder why you have four different reports. First, there are separate reports for math and reading. Additionally, I have given you both the report For Families and the Diagnostic Growth report in math and reading. Both reports show your child's growth by comparing their performance on the mid-year test to the test back in September. While there's a lot of overlap, each report contains some useful information that the other does not.
Please read carefully the Room 1321 Homework Update. On the reverse side I have circled weekly homework that your child now has based on their most recent i-Ready performance. (Everyone has the Typing.com homework circled as we do not have time in class to teach and practice keyboarding skills, yet students will need to type some of their responses on the CAASPP test this spring.)
Students who might have complained about i-Ready lessons being too easy or boring in the fall should now be placed appropriately. But if they don't start working on lessons regularly, their current level in math or reading will become out of sync with their i-Ready lessons. This program is most effective when students work every week for 45-60 minutes in an area - over two or three sessions.
These lessons provide targeted instruction that begins with the domain within a subject where your child scored the lowest. So I have assigned lessons in some cases where a student's overall placement is "Mid 3" but where that student has scored at a lower level in at least one domain. (There are six domains, or subsections, in reading and four domains in math.) Working on i-Ready lessons will (hopefully) fill in gaps in learning that are likely preventing your child from making more progress.
I hope that this makes sense! Please email me with any questions you have.
