-For those of you wondering about accessing i-Ready on ipads and other devices, I found a way to make it work for now!! YAY!!! If you download the puffin app (free version) on your ipad or device, you should be able to access i-Ready through the puffin browser without any trouble. I tried this on my classroom ipads and it worked. Hopefully this will help get some more students on i-Ready at home. Although we are pushing i-Ready on our students as a competition, this is a great way for our students to receive instruction in Math and Reading that is individualized just for them. Please help us by encouraging and allowing your child the chance to use this program at home if Internet access is available.
If there is anything I can do to help you or your child out, please let me know. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!! :)
