Question
How does Let's Go Learn compare to iReady?
  
Answer

This is our opinion of the differences between iReady and Let's Go Learn.  Ultimately, you'll need to compare for yourself.

Fundamentally, Let's Go Learn has much more granular and diagnostic assessments.  Our assessments were designed not to be summative tests but to inform instruction and answer questions for the teacher. Supporting this statement is the fact that many special education departments and thus teachers use our DORA, ADAM, and DOMA PreAlgebra assessments to create IEPs and write PLAAPFs for their students.  Our assessments accurately identify students' instructional points rather than guessing at or assuming vague developmental areas.  

In reading, DORA looks at 7 discrete subskills and finds students' instructional points within the linear scope and sequence of each.  Within foundational mathematics, ADAM finds each student's instructional skill point with 44 sub-tests of foundational mathematics.  

Likewise, both iReady and Let's Go Learn have a personalized instructional component.  But given that our assessments are more granular and accurate, the prescriptive path that we generate will more quickly fill the gaps the students have. As a result, when used as an intervention tool within the regular classroom or during a pullout class, our LGL Edge series will more rapidly improve students' overall performance.  We won't waste valuable instructional time on materials that are already mastered or provide lessons that are too hard. 

The trade-off is that in some cases, our assessments may take longer.  This is primarily true in upper-level mathematics.  For example, in the case of middle school mathematics, we take the time to really dig in and map out each student's gaps across the 44 scope-and-sequences of foundational mathematics.  We don't assume that if a 6th grader is at the 4th-grade level in multiplication, he is at that level in division or number theory.  We actually assess to find out.  We also don't draw conclusions based on one test item in a skill area.  We will test with 2 to 5 items to reach an accurate conclusion.  Otherwise, we'd just be another inaccurate screener.

When you bring additional fields into a conversion, Quickbase often finds inconsistencies. For example, say you're converting your Companies column into its own table. One company, Acme Corporation, has offices in New York, Dallas and Portland. So, when you add the City column to the conversion, Quickbase finds three different locations for Acme. A single value in the column you're converting can only match one value in any additional field. Quickbase needs you to clean up the extra cities before it can create your new table. To do so, you have one of two choices:

  • If you want to create three separate Acme records (Acme-New York, Acme-Dallas and Acme-Portland) click the Conform link at the top of the column.
  • If the dissimilar entries are mistakes (say Acme only has one office in New York and the other locations are data-entry errors) go back into your table and correct the inconsistenciesin this case, changing all locations to New York. Then try the conversion again.
