i-Ready Assessment
What is the i-Ready assessment?
The i-Ready Assessment is an adaptive test that matches the difficulty of questions to each student’s ability. The assessment starts each student at a difficulty level based on a best guess, including grade level. When a student gets answers right, the questions get harder; if a student selects incorrect answers, the questions get easier. It adapts to the ability of each student quickly and efficiently.
The i-Ready Assessment identifies students’ strengths and weaknesses while supporting data-driven differentiated instruction. It provides valid and reliable growth data, helping teachers track both yearly and long-term student progress. It does not replace daily instruction or curriculum.
Who takes the i-Ready assessment?
It is administered to students in grades K-8.
How is the i-Ready assessment administered?
Students take the screener three times during the school year – at the beginning, middle, and end. The diagnostic is done in about a one-hour block of time for grades K-8.

OT/PT Information
The occupational and physical therapists at Hoosic Valley Schools have compiled a list of home activities. These activities are broken down into fine motor (dexterity, hand strengthening, grasping and visual-motor activities) and gross motor (jumping, balancing, running and ball games). These activities are meant to compliment any therapies that your child may be receiving in school and to further progress your child toward their therapy goals. For those children not receiving OT or PT, the list can be used for suggestions for activities in the home to refine your child’s fine and gross motor skills. If you have specific questions or concerns regarding your child’s therapies, please contact OT or PT at Hoosic Valley Elementary School at (518)753-4458.
