What is I-Ready?
I-Ready is an online software program that provides lessons to students based on their personal area of need in reading and math.
What is Clever?
Clever is a sign-in tool used to simplify the sign-in process. Clever is most often used for accessing
I-Ready, but many teachers are using it to access other apps as well.

What if I have multiple children sharing a device?
Option 1: Make sure that your students’ teachers have supplied each student with a Clever badge. Each student will use it to log in and out of Clever/I-Ready. (HIGHLY SUGGESTED)
Option 2: Designate a browser for each child to exclusively use when using I-Ready.
(not available for iPad)
Option 3: Create a guest profile or different profile for each student to use on your laptop or desktop. (not available for iPad)
How much time should my child spend on I-Ready?
This will vary from class to class. However, students should not spend more than 45 minutes per week on I-Ready Math and 45 minutes per week on I-Ready Reading. Excessive use of I-Ready will lead to burnout.
What if I still have questions?
If you have instructional questions, please contact your child’s homeroom or subject area teacher. If you have technical questions, email our Instructional Technology Coach, Mr. Carey at [email protected].
