i-Ready, Are You?

Abstract

This study explores how my first-grade students interact with the newly implemented educational program, i-Ready. Students use this program weekly for both math and reading. Observations were made over the course of 5 weeks while students were using i-Ready. A double-entry journal was used to document data regarding the lessons students were working on, things that were said, facial expressions, and body language. Data excerpts will be used to illustrate key findings. There is very little research in the field that directly studies this program, which is what makes this study significant.
