***As discussed in our one on one conference and in class, when you take an i-Ready Diagnostic the program puts you on a Learning Path and automatically assigns you work based on your Diagnostic score. As your teacher, I can also assign you lessons based on the standards we are working on in class. When you log in to your i-Ready accounts and select 'Reading' you should see that one side says 'Teacher Assigned' Lesson (with the lesson titles) and the other side says 'My Path'. I-Ready homework requires you to complete both the specific lesson I assigned to you for the evening and 20 minutes of 'My Path' work. Remember, teachers have full access allowing us to see how much time you have spent on the system, which lessons you did, and what you scored on each lesson.***
