iReady Diagnostic Testing
This week is the opening of the second iReady Diagnostic testing window.
All Hoover students grade Kindergarten through fourth grade
will be taking both a reading and math assessment.
These assessments are computer-based, and are adaptive, which
means the complexity of the question depends on how your child
has answered the question before.
For example, if your child answers a problem correctly, the test will adjust the
next question to that level. If your child misses a problem, the
test will adjust to a more appropriate level for your child, and so on.
The iReady Diagnostic is given three times a year for our
first-fourth grade students, and twice a year to our kindergartners.
Our staff uses the results of these assessments to plan for instruction,
making sure each child is getting what they need academically.
Testing sessions are available to our classes both this week and next.
Please make sure your child gets rest and is motivated to their bes
