Cambridge Public Schools is excited to offer an opportunity for our 3rd - 8th grade students to advance their reading and math skills beyond the school day with i-Ready Personalized Instruction. Personalized Instruction uses your child’s i-Ready diagnostic data to determine their specific skills and needs. The program develops customized lessons to improve and accelerate reading and math skills, whether students are performing below, on, or above grade level. Students will be able to access their unique lessons at home, during after school programs, when absent, and during school closures.
Each lesson is designed to:
- Be culturally responsive and engaging
- Take 15 - 20 minutes
- Connect concepts to real-world scenarios, history, science, and high interest topics using videos, interactive elements, and excerpts from diverse, high quality novels.
Students can monitor their own progress and receive ongoing feedback and encouragement while completing the lessons. Students, educators, and parents/guardians can also access real-time learning data, including scores on individual lessons and quizzes, and progress with specific skills.
Over the next several months, CPS will host virtual and translated family onboarding sessions to support families. These sessions will include a variety of content, including information about the program, the i-Ready Family Center, interpreting student data, and ways families can support grade-level literacy and math progress at home.
