A Questions Curriculum

 From an email to her teacher:


Dear Mrs. Z,

Sorry to bother you but I was looking up I-ready to log in, and saw some surprising common questions that were asked about it. I am not a fan of I-Ready, but I do understand it is part of our 4th grade reading curriculum, so when I saw these questions I decided to dig deeper. It turns out the I-Ready diagnostic is not good for kids. In the files you will see below, the I-Ready diagnostic is, and I quote " A dehumanizing assessment that causes stress and is overall, useless with no benefits." "It is a big waste of time and does not teach anything to students."  I am curious to see if you have any thoughts on I-Ready.


Just wanted you to know.
Kindly, A
