  9. “SWAG Practice” = Homework Work will either be… • “pre-work” that will guide instruction for the next day OR • extension of classwork **iReady is HIGHLY suggested

  10. I-Ready • Highly suggest to use it outside of school • Consistently brings back skills already taught as well as new skills the students will learn • Highly individualized - Tiers instruction to the level of each student • If the material gets more difficult, that’s a good sign! It means that your child is doing well and iReady is testing to see what else they can handle.
