Curriculum Associates has a rating of 1.3 stars from 241 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about Curriculum Associates most frequently mention 4th grade, brain cells, and middle school problems. Curriculum Associates ranks 4398th among Education sites.
Most of the people saying it's 1-star are just people who hate math and reading, which is understandable... but would you rather do IXLMath where it does NO explaining, NO help, just "you got this wrong and I'm not gonna tell you why."? I thought not. You can get coins from lessons to play games, and it gives you a break in the middle of tests. They explain your incorrect answers, and it adapts to your level of reading/math. It's not really as bad as people are saying it is!
Bored of torturing your student through the good old fashioned way? No worries because I ready is the most modern and innovative way to kill your student's last brain cells! An amazing gift for teacher's day!
Curriculum Associates owns iReady, a virtual learning tool that schools tend to use, especially in the absence of in-person schooling due to the COVID-19 outbreak. For some reason, schools still think that using this site is a good idea when it is vehemently the opposite. The current United States curriculum is outdated. Instead of allowing children to explore themselves and find their own talents, they are trying to shape children into a mold to grow them up to be in debt to the government in colleges. Schools enforce this belief that in order to be successful, you must go to college. This curriculum only benefits the government and colleges that students are in debt with for decades. IReady only helps to keep this going. It shapes people to be what they want, and while I have had no experience with it myself, from what I can tell there are millions of children who don't like this. For perfect reasons too. You can't expect people to actually want to do both reading AND math for hours on end every week. Let people explore what they want. A leading cause of depression in teenagers isn't just hormonal changes. Its school. They cant expand themselves and they feel trapped. And what happens to those who kill themselves? What if one of them was the next Elvis? What if one would go on and find a way to prevent dementia? Maybe one could have been president. But no. The failing school system is still in place.
Tip for consumers:
Never use this PoS.

IReady is a curriculum based website, yes, but it's lessons have LONG PROCESS AND it is NOT RECOMMENDED. I am a student and user of this website. I started using this during mid-term so it is new to me, My diagnostic result was 531, not even knowing what that even means! Long introduction videos before the diagnostic, talking about the features and tools to use during the diagnostic. We did not use iReady until Distance Learning commenced. The lessons were boring and so long. My teacher is WAY BETTER AT TEACHING thank iReady. They lessons are not descriptive and very confusing. During one of our class' online meetings, the brainiest kid in my class complained about iReady! I am in sixth grade and I am very grateful that iReady are one of the tools to keep us learning during this pandemic.
I-Ready gives me so much stress every day and I cry way to much cause how boring and awful it is, this website is terrible and I want it banned immediately. My math grades are going lower and lower and my parents always yell at me for bad grades. I-READY IS TRASH
It treats kids like baby's even though they are in middle school it doesn't make sense why they cant make it change do to age i hate it and don't recommend
I would rather die than do Iready. I hope I can give this a 0 star rating. First: failing a lesson makes you do it again regardless of where you are. Second: I know how to build a FREAKING FUSION POWER PLANT AND IT PUT ME INTO BASE TEN BLOCKS WHEN I FINISHED MY FIRST DIAGNOSTIC. Third: It has made me do several lessons about 5 TIMES. I WOULD RATHER DIG A HOLE TO THE CORE OF THE EARTH THAN DO IREADY FOR ANOTHER SECOND! DANGIT I CANT RATE IT 0 STARS
I-ready is a horrible learning app for children i've been using I-ready for at least 6 years now and i'm still sick of it I-ready stories and people make up non-sence and i've googled what people say about the subject and I-ready is wrong by a long shot and the questions ask the dumbest things and the dumbest answer is always right and that answer wont make any sence I-ready is a waste of money and time for schools and parents and should be outlawed in my opinion and is the worst learning app i've ever used and seen
I HATE THIS SOOOOO MUCH! THE DUMB CHARACTERS TALK WAAAAAAAAY TO MUCH AND THEY NEED TO SHUT THEIR STUPID MOUTHS UP! THIS PROGRAM ALSO TREATS YOU LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD BABY AND PRETENDS YOU FORGOT HOW TO DO ADDITION WHEN YOU ARE IN 6TH GRADE!
I ready is the worst it treats you like a baby and it is stupid. It would be much better to do prodigy it is the worst thing in the world i just want to kill it!
I Ready is so Bad Because the reading that the website Gives you takes, in my opinion To long Like Basically, If the website is saying 4+4=8 it will say it like F O U R pause Plus pause Four- see what I mean! So if you are a teacher and you are Thinking about giving Your students I-Ready HW, Please, Don't. I am an 11 Year old 5th Grader and the 75 Minutes, yes 75 minutes of I-Ready that our Math teacher asigns us Is to Much for Me. So what I am saying, is that I-Ready is a VERY f**ked up Website.
Tip for consumers:
Tip= Protest against this website By not doing the I-Ready Work if your teacher asigns I-Ready Work
I hope That you Found my Opinion Useful, thank You :)
IT MAKES ME DO THE SAME LESSON OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR NO REASON I GET 3 WRONG AND IT MAKES ME DO IT AGAIN IF I GET IT WRONG AGAIN I NEED TO GO TO THE NEXT LESSON WITHOUT LEARNING ANYTHING THIS IS STUPID I HATE THIS
I don't know why they created this because first of all what if a kid had angry issues and started throwing things and this also horrible because kids get stressed out so much they wanna kill theirselves than it's very hard you click on answer and it marks it wrong first of all this isn't helping you with your grade or IQ it's helping you get dumb sometimes the answer they put are WRONG for example 4x7=27 that's probably why you aren't getting good grades and also it puts stuff you already know like descriptions we already know what that is it's a waste of time if i was you I would be doing something else like reading or homework or REAL MATH what they are teaching us is nothing it actually makes you dumber so BAN THIS!
JUST HORRIBLE. DON'T USE IT. I-READY SUCKS $#*! AND IT HACKED MY MOM'S SOCIAL SECURITY AND TOOK ALL HER MONEY AND IT KNOWS MY ADRESS AND THE ALIENS THAT WORK THERE WANT TO CONTROL US. UHH CHILE ANYWAYS- STREAM DIARY 001 BY CLAIRO AND ONE PIECE IS A GOOD-$#*! ANIME, I RECCOMEND 100%
Iready is not worthy for students to learn it does not motivate students it only makes students lose sanity and it makes their day boring. Here is why iready sucks it treats you like trash and the sound recorder is so weird and creepy it give me nightmares. Also the animation is driving me crazy. IREADY IS TERRIBLE. *ZERO STARS* i ready is piece of poop DON"T USE IREADY IT's bad waste of time.
This is the ACTUAL WORST app in the whole world that I've USED FOR MATH!
See, I'm a 5th grader and my whole district needs to use this garbage app - I-Ready. This is absolutely stupid, we have to take a diganosiastic to get our "level". The issue is, a simple mistake like I added 5+3 and got 7 even though I knew it was 8 can make you do lessons on how to add. This app doesn't get the fact that mistakes exist!
Cringy lessons - lessons on this app take me around 30 minutes just to finish with the quiz. You can't skip through, and you have to watch this stupid animated characters tell you about everything. Maybe it'd be better WITHOUT these characters. Sometimes it has so bad of quality literally all you hear is "talking and glitching" which doesn't even help me.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GARBAGE APP! It's supposed to HELP you but it makes everyone feels STUPID. This has ruined a lot of peoples self esteem! Stay FAR away from this.
It is so stressful and annoying. I have been doing sense I was in 5th grade I am a freshman now. They never helped me and they are annoying. The lesson feel like they are babying you all the time.
I would give iready 0 stars but i cant first of all iready is a waist of time and teaches us nothing and it takes like 2 hours to do a lesson iready is so stupid!
Its annoying boring and teachers seem to think it is accurate with what we are capable of and teachers are useing this app to be lazy and not give us 1 on 1
It is boring and dose not teach you anything even if you pres the wrong button it thinks you don't know it and repeats it i find myself pluging my eras for half the time I am doing it
Tip for consumers:
it does not tell you what you got wrong on tests

Someone people just says "OmG tHiS ApP iS AwSoMe" like you know there is lots of bugs and never fixed them right? And when you get a question wrong it says "oOps TrY AgAin" of something like that, if they put you in ready you will be mad, but that app cause stress, and lots of stuff, if you have this stupid app, get rid of it, and if you failed a lesson, you can try again but if you fail again, it takes out the lesson, like if you remember it, you can't do that again. Stupid I-ready.
When ever I type my answer its says its wrong and then tell me that the same answer was right and wrong now I have a a bad review because of something they need to fix it and it doesn't teach us anything and it doesn't tell you what to do it wants you answer it and you wonder why your Childs failing on it DURDADUR
I am a 4th grader and I am here to tell you why Iready is the worst platform ever invented 1st want to tell you about the diagnostic so I have done the diagnostic 9 times and unless your doing the first diagnostic of the year and even then youll still have to do half the lesson you did last year youll also hav e the same questions as you already did over and over theres also cutscenes and "brain breaks" which are just a waste of time speaking of wastes of timeit could take hours to do your diagnostic but it will not count as ireadyminutes I'd rather climb mount everest than do the diagnostic again my respect goes out to every kid who has to do a lesson every day the screen goes to "are you still there" it makes uswant to kill ourselves I wouldve given this 0 stars if i could but of course i couldnt and sitejabber should change that. I-ready is so bad there are multiple petitions to get rid of it please sign one of those petitions to help get rid of iready.
Tip for consumers:

I want to rate this 0 stars. This website is so dumb. It doesnt tell you why you got a question wrong or how to do the math. Its just saying "DO THIS MATH" and "HAHA YOU GOT IT WRONG". I get so mad over this especially because my teachers make us do 100 minutes total EVERY WEEK. I hate iReady, and I am surprised anyone likes it.
So all the reviews here are people just saying it's cheap and I hate it. Which is true but doesn't have any real reasons. As I've been doing it for a couple of years I will share my honest opinion and my reasons. Enjoy.
Iready is bad, It takes too long, missing very few questions, like two for example, can make you start over again. When you get it wrong it doesn't explain why you where wrong, it just says "oops, try again. The diagnostic tells you REPEATEDLY not to rush, but if you fail to complete the test in under a week it makes you restart, now, you may say that a week is enough time to complete a test, but the test has 100 questions and you have to read an entire passage for almost every question. The characters names and jokes are stupid, like the name Pepper Jackie. Here is one of the best jokes I have ever heard this website say, ready, "it's so ice to see you" BRUH
And I do agree with everyone saying it looks and sounds terrible. I hate it, our teachers hate it, and everyone else hates it. I do not reccomend
IREADY IS TOTAL TRASH.
Here is a way to destroy it https://www.change.org/su/p/iready-must-end/f
It's homework, but worse. It takes more than an hour to finish. It can build up stress on students who have an attention deficit. When you're done with it, it acts like you didn't even take that assignment. After that, you just learn nothing and get more dumb as you complete more lessons. When the teacher assigns the same homework you already did, it acts like it's a brand new lesson you didn't learn. This app is NOT mobile-friendly. Overall this app is just a poop scooper that is used to punish children. Idk why my teacher uses this and my grades are bad cuz of this stupid app my math teacher uses. IT MAKES YOU FEEL DUMB WITH THAT PASS RATE. KHAN ACADEMY IS BETTER.
I dont even know where to start. This app is just dehumanizing and stressful. Once i got 2 questions incorrect on a quiz, AND IT SAID I FAILED! 2 MISSED QUESTIONS AND I FAILED. And their lessons STRESS ME OUT SO MUCH. I have never been so stressed until i started doing iready.
