Unfortunately, I was disappointing in seeing that the  last I-ready homework was  only completed by  about 8 students. This homework is to help them improved in skills that they need help in. It is beneficial for their reading skills, that are required to be great readers and thinkers long after their current grade, teacher, school or state exam.
