We were very impressed with the level of engagement displayed by our students. Students loved getting on Squiggle Park and playing the games. Their learning was evidenced not only within the data provided by Squiggle Park but in mid-year assessments. All students showed growth in their proficiency with letters, sounds, and sight-word recognition.

My students have been showing a steady incline of growth using i-Ready. From the beginning of the year, the majority of my fourth grade students tested at least two grade levels behind. While using i-Ready lessons on their pathway during reading and math, I have been able to see an increase in both subjects during instruction. Students are expanding their vocabulary, becoming more confident in their math skills, and increasing their fluency.
