Testimonials

i-Ready provides a lot of good resources for teachers to graph student growth. It’s a very visual way to show data and easy for families to understand. When students see where they’re starting and where they’ve grown, I think that increases their expectations because they see that they can do it, and they can see where they want to be.

— Chris Guerra, Teacher
