“Fifteen years. Thirteen million students. Not a single high-quality, independent study showing i-Ready improves learning.”

And in Georgia? We kept it on the approved list…because it’s widely used.

That’s not evidence-based leadership.
That’s lowering the bar for kids.

We should demand better.

How are you using the ORF to determine instructional needs?

[Amy D'Eloia @AMES_RTI]

@MelK_Ed Agree! I love Lexia Reading for personalized learning, but it does not replace explicit instruction to address deficits provided by interventionists. S’s need immediate, authentic corrective feedback in real-time.

This is a lengthy, but worthwhile read. It challenged me, yet confirmed my belief that upper grade students benefit from reading high volumes of novels from a variety of genres.
