It knows my whole name (including my middle name) and when I do it at school says back at Westwood Elementry, and at home it says my WHOLE address. It thinks I'm a toddler and asked me what is an author! It has the WORST animation. It makes me read a text for a five year-old even though my diagnostic score is 627 and I'm 4th grade.

I ready sucks because the characters are cringe and they want to make me go deaf. I also hate how the lessons take you like 30 minutes and when you get 3 or more questions wrong you have to do the whole thing again. Ready also gives kids suicidal thoughts and makes them overwhelmed and stressed for no reason. I ready should be FU#$*ING BANNED. IT SUCKS COMPLAIN TO THE TEACHER PRINCIPAL OR SUPERINTENDENT.

Ok guys, NEVER MAKE YOUR KIDS DO THIS! I have a do it right now and it's probably that worst learning website I have ever been on. I am in 5th grade and it's so weird how they know your full name, even your middle name! I-ready makes kids want to kill themselves and and makes everyone throw there computer in rage. If you get one little question wrong it takes them a minute explain what 10+10 is. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER RECOMMEND I-READY!

This program does not help my child with her ELA or Maths skills. She doesn't learn anything from the site even though she does all her lessons and she says she forgets the lessons immediately, even though this site is used to help with her Maths and ELA skills she doesn't learn anything from the site.

The only actual good reward game is cat stacker. And heres an example about how they want to "civilize" you. They say that you have to answer 1 + 2 as 1 + 2, no equivelents like 2 + 1. ITS THE SAME FREAKING EQUATION YOU PIECE OF (insert swear word im not allowed to cuss.)
Curriculum Associates says that Robert E. Lee is a fricking hero?
My name is aidan and i am 11. I hate i ready my teachers say that i need to do it but i dont because of these reasons.

So terrible and horrendous it makes me want to puke. If i havent already!

You are more disappointing than an unsalted pretzel.

I'll never forget the first time we met. But I'll keep trying.

As a 5th grader, I'm stuck with this thing like I ready, I don't understand why I ready is required. All it does is when you get 1 or two answers wrong, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LESSON AGAIN. It's so annoying! Plus *tracking minutes* WHY DO TEACHERS NEED TO TRACK OUR MINUTES ON A PROGRAM THAT DOESNT EVEN TEACH US? Just ban I ready already. The characters sound creepy and act like 2 yr olds.

I-ready lessons are idiotic. I-ready treats middleschoolers as 2 year olds. I am an animator myself and this website is discusting and poor quality. In reading the story takes up too much time than the actuall lerning part. I know that its just trying to make it fun but its just a waste. This website makes me want to cry because of the storyline, one assignment takes me half an hour or more! I wish my (GREAT) teacher would stop using this even in online learning. I reccomend Prodigy (not sponsered), its an actuall fun app and its free!

We the people of the the A. I. R. Association, in order to form a more perfect school environment, establish a petition, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the anti-iReady cause, promote the general anti-i-Ready mood, secure the blessings of childhood to ourselves and our prosperity, do ordain and establish the idea for i-Ready free schools in the state of North Carolina.

We children of the formerly amazing public school system request you to hear our complaints. We A. I. R. Members all have come together with a common source of conflict in our daily lives- i-Ready. It helps in the least.

"According to Curriculum Associates, the company that makes i-Ready, these assessments are an 'adaptive Diagnostic for reading and mathematics [that] pinpoints student need down to the sub-skill level, and [provides] ongoing progress monitoring [to] show whether students are on track to achieve end-of-year targets.'"

They say.

In reality, it is the exact opposite. We wonder: The people that assigned this to us- did they try it themselves? The animation is just one minor flaw in the system. First, the test designed to take thirty minutes stretch on and on for hours. And I won't even mention the dreaded, waste-of-time 'brain breaks'. Balloon breaths. Really, people?

There are many other reasons, such as the fact that people already know the things 'taught' during i-Ready. There are reasons, people! Look at the facts, think your decision through before renewing i-Ready or using it yourself for teaching.

Listen to the students. We need a voice.

Iready on a baseline principle is good. But in actuality is extremely bad. I will mostly be talking about the my path but before that i want to talk about the learning games. The learning games are the only thing witch kept this review from a one star but just barely. The learning games are fun ( pizza and no other ones) if you are 5th grade or below. But for 6th grade onwords get repedditive realy quickly.( i am in 6th grade if you were wondering). Now to talk about the my path. The iready my path is a pice of hot garbage. It has little to no actual educatinal value and moreover is just REALY BOREING. I would rather watch a documentry on trees then this f*** pice of s***. The lessons are long and drag on forever. Also when you are agsined 2 hours of iready a week it gets dergading. The iready lessons are either realy boreing ore painfuly easy. So tldr iready sucks

Please don't even think about using I-Ready to educate anyone. The website itself is horrible. During a lesson, I-Ready is almost guaranteed to freeze, forcing you to close the tab, open I-Ready again, and get back on the lesson. The stories they try to put into the lessons are a big disappointment as well. The "stories" are poorly animated cartoons that serve no purpose to learning about the topic at all. You are forced to watch a boring, choppy animation that takes about 30 seconds, just for it to freeze again because I-Ready's rusty website can't handle the slow, animated characters it makes you watch. The actual learning aspect of the program is ok, but I can't take anymore of the quality of the website. Overall, please do not use this absolute broken thing of a website. Every 30 seconds the program will most likely freeze, you will be forced to watch animations with stupid plots that serve no purpose and are not even entertaining. Please use another learning program such as TenMarks which are actually good to learn from.

Ive used the crap basically for 3 years and it sucks, literally. The people in the lessons take so long to freaking speak. They give the worst questions and yet claim the dumbest answers to be correct. You cant even escape this garbage by being on an alt tab because it always pauses. The most annoying part is when you have to retake a whole 2 hour lesson JUST BECAUSE OF 3 WRONG QUESTIONS. I hope Iready gets banned.

It takes forever to actually DO the problem, like what would take me 10 minutes on paper took about 2 hours on this. Then when you finish it, heck, you have to do A WHOLE NOTHER LOAD OF CRAP! And what do you get out of finishing the lessons? Well, you get coins, and the coins you can use for games in the app but the games are crap and they are only 2 minutes long so when your done you have to go through about 5 hours more of work for a game. DO NOT GET THIS APP. Get a different one. Oh and also, can we talk about the fact that if you do enough looking and detective stuff you can find out the people in the lessons are in COLLAGE? This is so stupid. 20 year olds cant figure out what 30 divided by 10 is. What hole were they trapped in for the last 15 years?
