What is the Highest level in iReady?

In i-Ready, the levels correspond to different grade levels, and they are used to differentiate instructional materials and assessments based on student performance. The highest level in iReady is Level H for the K to 8th Grade program.

However, the highest levels generally found in i-Ready are Level J, which corresponds to 10th grade. For most subjects and assessments in i-Ready, the content is capped at Level H (8th grade). Some programs may include content for Level I and Level J in specific areas like mathematics to challenge high school students. However, i-Ready is primarily focused on K-8 education, with more advanced levels being less commonly used or accessed.

These levels, such as Level I (9th grade) and Level J (10th grade), are not officially documented as part of the core program, but they are occasionally referenced in advanced coursework.

Here’s a list of the iReady levels and their approximate grade-level equivalencies:

i-Ready Levels and Grade Equivalents:

• Level AA: Kindergarten
• Level A: 1st Grade
• Level B: 2nd Grade
• Level C: 3rd Grade
• Level D: 4th Grade
• Level E: 5th Grade
• Level F: 6th Grade

How to Understand the i-Ready Placement Tables.

1. Find the right table. Make sure you’re looking at the correct placement table for the grade you’re assessing.
2. Look up the student’s grade. In the first column, find the student’s current grade. Use this row to understand where the student stands compared to expectations for their grade.
   • Note: In this version of the placement tables, the rows and columns are flipped compared to older versions.
3. Find the student’s score range. Once you find the student’s score, look for the column that shows the score range. This will tell you the student’s exact placement relative to their grade level. The colors in each box match the colors used in the score reports.

If a student is placed “on grade,” the box will have three parts:

• Light green means they’re “Early On Grade Level.”
• Darker green means “Mid Grade Level” or “Late Grade Level.”
• Gray means a score at this grade level isn’t possible.

What the Colors Mean on the I-Ready Scores Chart:

1. Green: Early On Grade Level

• Definition: These students have met some grade-level expectations but need more practice.
• Instruction: They should continue learning at their grade level to meet all grade expectations.
• Intervention: They don’t need special help beyond regular classroom instruction.

2. Yellow: One Grade Level Below

• Definition: These students are close to meeting grade-level expectations but are slightly behind.
• Instruction: They need regular grade-level teaching with extra support for areas where they’re behind.
• Intervention: They may need some review or help with skills from the previous grade.

3. Red: Two Grade Levels Below

• Definition: These students are struggling with skills that are two grades behind their current level.
• Instruction: They need help with foundational skills before they can handle their grade-level work.
• Intervention: These students need more formal help, like special programs or extra tutoring, to catch up.
