This summer, students who just completed kindergarten through eighth grade can use their school-supplied laptops to participate in online learning using iReady at their own pace and from any location.
iReady is an educational program designed to support students in their learning journey, particularly in subjects like math and reading. It's used by schools to assess students' skills and tailor instruction to their individual needs.
Summer iReady is an extension of the iReady program that continues to support students' learning during the summer break. It's designed to prevent the "summer slide," which is the tendency for students to lose some of the academic gains they made during the school year over the summer months.
Here's how summer iReady works:
- Continued Learning: Summer iReady provides students with access to interactive lessons and activities in subjects like math and reading. These activities are tailored to each student's individual needs based on their performance during the school year.
- Flexible Schedule: Unlike the regular school year, summer iReady allows students to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. This flexibility enables students to continue their learning while still enjoying their summer break.
- Personalized Instruction: Just like during the school year, summer iReady offers personalized instruction to students. Based on their performance on initial assessments, students receive lessons and practice activities that target their specific areas of weakness and help reinforce their strengths.
- Parental Involvement: Parents play a crucial role in supporting their child's summer learning with iReady. They can monitor their child's progress, encourage consistent participation, and provide assistance when needed.
- Preparation for the Next School Year: Summer iReady helps students stay academically engaged during the break, preventing learning loss and ensuring they're better prepared for the upcoming school year. By maintaining their skills over the summer, students can start the new school year with confidence.
Overall, summer iReady offers a convenient and effective way for students to continue learning and sharpen their skills over the summer break, setting them up for success in the academic year ahead.
