It's boring and dumb and usually takes 50 minutes for 2 reading lessons and 170 minutes for 2 math level H is so long but easy that I no longer have brain cells after this also look at the pic below this one of the reviews is super funny and relatable.

I ready Is a trash website.
September 28, 2023

This website is trash, like what the $#*! is the point of this?my math teacher and ELA teacher really forces us to do this kind of Crap. Every single day, im in the 7th grade and still doing I ready. If youre a New coming teacher, Do not give your students iready lessons. Literally no body will want that. Its literally the worst website for teaching, The characters Make me Cringe, And the entire website itself is just bull$#*!. Cutscenes and videos are annoying as $#*!. This website needs to get deleted, it keeps getting harder, and questions take a long $#*! time to answer. Literally no body likes this website, you can even tell by the amount of bad reviews it got.

Stupid unnecessary program, I did my homework and, for example, I don't have as many points as they want, they won't consider it as a lesson. But I ask a lot of these "ready" people and they don't teach us anything and we just suffer so much! We need to ban him for it so that no one suffers!

I-ready is so bad because it killed my parents and makes me lose ******* brain cells every second because the lessons are NPC lessons and if you don't do enough you fall behind, and if you fail a lesson you have to do the boring a$$ lesson all over again! And the cartoons are worse than darr mann videos, the jokes are from 2023 BC and it makes me want to kill my self and trancend the earth and my gender and find the creators and send them to he#@ the only good part is the cupcake game.

It started when Grace Miller threw her self off of a cliff because of an I-ready lesson. It was Building Sentence Comprehension. Then it was Hana. Then Kaleb. 19 people later and there are only 2 people left. I'm the next to go.

Child abuse.
September 21, 2023

This drains us and our brains. Being on the coumputer for 45 minutes a week is far to much. After I do more than 5 lessons I can feel my brain cells melting.

I-ready is so bad first of all the assignments are so long the tutorials take 40 minutes to do also its so stressful to do just one assignment and they are so hard to do the teachers expect you to do 10 every week and it takes so much time some kids have to go to football practice or go places also it doesn't even do the main purpose of it good the math and reading features are horrible the book reading is so boring and only waist more of your time also the characters talk to much and the animations are unnecessary and its math feature is so repetitive and long its takes away time from school i have gone to many of my classes late because i needed 10 assignments done but I-ready should not be used in school (or anywhere).

Boring and repetative
August 6, 2023

I agree with 6th grader who also left a comment--it deserves 0 stars. It is too repetitive, and the content being practice and tested is below his current math and reading level. What is the point? It is definitely not adaptive. It makes kids hate homework more than they already do. Furthermore, the content is way too long, and the fact that they do this in school and get it assigned for homework makes for unnecessary screen time. It is a shame that this nonsense is a requirement by the NYC archdiocese.

I hate this app
June 26, 2023

IReady has made it harder to learn in classes. I am dislecic and IReady has put me at a 3rd grade reading leave all though on all of my different test (not from IReady) I have gotten a 7th grade reading level. So when I get told I have to do IReady for an 3hrs a week, I am learning nothing bc IReady has put me at a 3rd grade reading level for not doing good on a 2hr reading test.

Slowing kids down
June 6, 2023

In school, I am and always have been a "gifted" student and this program gave me lessons that never challenged me and slowed my progress down. The lessons were always easy and took way longer than it needed to. If you answered a question right, it would then begin to explain how you got the right answer. To do one unit, it would take upwards of an hour and is inefficient and slow. I would always understand how to do it within the first five minutes and then have to sit through three more lessons and a lesson test. Besides the overall uselessness of the program, the voices are annoying and high-pitched. It seems to knock you down a few levels after you take the diagnostic as well. I skipped a grade of math, and that shows on my diagnostic, yet it would still give me math lessons for my original grade level before skipping. I have never heard a positive comment about this app in all my years of attending schools that use this program. They have somehow managed to make a program that doesn't teach anyone anything and is still it is still used in schools all over the country. If you are thinking of getting this wonderful app for your school, reconsider.

What's the point? You have to listen to what the characters say even though you already know what you're supposed to do, and it takes nearly forever to stop saying what the have to say. The intro's so annoying, and you have to do a problem before you go on to the next one, which is like stupid. The intro gives you such easy questions. It's so long. I had to do the whole 100 questions! And the math sucks! And, yes, you have to do 100 stupid horrible and completely pointless questions! That you just get all stressed out about, and it takes even longer!

What the $#*! is this? Im almost in 6th grade and i hate this mother$#*!ing website so much! Its so $#*!ty and horrible i actually cant believe it. First of all, the lessons take forever to finish. Second, the lessons are repetitive and hard. Third of all, whenever i do it, i feel drained and annoyed. I havent used my coins in forever and only have 1000 coins! Its been the whole school year and i should have *******. Khan Academy is a website i used to learn grammar, and its 2763 times better. Overall, it deserves 0 stars. If you are a teacher reading this, please dont. I-Ready sucks.

I forgot basic math:3
