HELP ME
October 24, 2024

Just to be clear if it wasn't from the title I READY IS THE WORST THING EVER CREATED, how would you like it if every class day you hear your teacher just talking and yelling at you about how 2 lessons arn't done yet. GIVE ME A BREAK ITS MONDAY i have been trying to be a good student and do my i ready but i just cant take it anymore and the math lessons SO STUPID like stop asking me what numbers to multiply and actually let me finish this lesson and also if ive actually learned one thing from this app its this: dont waste your time doing like 20 steps for a problem its gonna move up the bar like one centimeter and then after doing like a 30 minute lesson you have to do a quiz which takes like 10 minutes because i ready babies you no matter how old you are i ready needs to be shut down at this point i would rather do IXL anything is better than i ready and also i have way too easy lessons im on my exact grade level at least thats what my letter says but then it gives me work i had learned to years ago i already know this stuff and im getting pushed to learn it all over again and dont even get me started on if you fail a lesson like it takes them two times to figure out your terrible at it and then gives you a different lesson but on the same topic not even teaching you anything just throwing it at you so teachers dont use this its torture for me and my classmates and i need to finish my stupid i ready or ill get a detention so im gonna end this now and teachers i repeat DO NOT USE THIS ITS TORTURE

This is garbage!
October 23, 2024

This is the worst thing ever! It is so painful and boring. I started and thought it would be pretty good but the characters were so made-for-young people! They should change the characters from grade to grade. All of my class hates doing this program. I was assigned to do 60 min and 3 lessons but I did not finish cause it was boring! I learned nothing from this program. Don't get this app!

WOrst ever

This app gave my student emotional trauma and self doubt. He failed a lesson twice and was very sad and lied on the floor. The lessons were really long and he even started crying.

I am an 8th grade student that has just started using i-Ready, and I'm already fairly dissatisfied with my experience. I am forced to do 45 minutes [at the least] for both the Reading and Math pathways.
At first I was learning a few new things, but now that I'm doing more of the lessons, it's all feeling quite repetitive, and therefore a bit excruciating and boring. I'm not getting anything I need and it feels like I'm just learning the same thing I have been going over for multiple years all over again. In my opinion, applications like Prodigy and IXL are more useful.
I like Prodigy because of how the lessons are set up; they're purposefully entertaining and pull the student in with captivating gameplay, helpful explanations, and questions that fit their grade level.
Similarly, IXL covers a wide variety of curriculum in mathematics, reading, spanish, geography, and history. If you get something wrong, the system explains the steps and lets you look over them and see what exactly you messed up on.
I-Ready is not recommended by teachers nor students and should be avoided. Thank you for reading, and I hope you take my advice seriously.

The ture expireance
October 16, 2024

It is a waste of time for students and a hassle to keep track of. It usually makes my students cry because of the correction system is too strict. A few parents came to complain because their kid was crying and upset. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE THE WORST

Worst ever
October 8, 2024

I know teachers love I Ready, but students do not! It causes stress and makes me want to scream. It pretty much teaches us nothing and is a waste of time. In my class when we have to do it all the kids including me moan. Of all the learning apps I Ready is by far the worst. I suggest you do Prodigy it's fun and you learn.

I-Ready sucks.
September 10, 2024

I'm an 8th grade student using I-Ready since kindergarten and it's a nightmare. The first thing in the school year is the Diagnostic. The average student takes 1 1/2 hours to 2 1/2 hours on one subject. EVERYONE DREADS THIS! We have to do these on Reading and on Math. We take these in the Fall, WInter and Spring. So the average student would take 9 to 15 hours on these YEARLY! Doing this K-8th while taking 1 1/2 hours on each Diagnostic would take 81 HOURS. Then we have lessons that for me, doing high school math, take about 30 minutes each. And I feel like the lessons baby me. And this is so boring. They need to make this a little more engaging at least. I also dont learn anything from this even though it should be teaching me. This is a failed concept.

It's just a money waster, as my kid's have gotten stress on the diagnostic, one of my kid's even had to go home. Please teacher's, don't waste your money on such a bad website.
