Stress-Free IRead-3 Prep
Introducing the IRead-3 Practice App, a new educational mobile app designed specifically to help 2nd and 3rd grade students in Indiana prepare for the mandatory IREAD-3 assessment. This user-friendly app offers engaging, age-appropriate reading passages, vocabulary practice, and comprehension quizzes that align with Indiana state standards. The IRead-3 Practice App focuses on practicing critical foundational reading skills and building confidence through interactive lessons tailored to each student’s learning pace. The app includes practice questions modeled after the actual IREAD-3 exam to familiarize students with test formats and expectations. The IRead-3 Practice App fills a critical digital resource gap to help students prepare for IREAD-3, and gain the skills to thrive in 3rd grade and beyond.
Our Story
My wife, Adrienne, and I are just everyday parents who found ourselves in a high-stakes situation that many Indiana families now face. Our 3rd grader needed to pass the IREAD-3 test. In addition to classroom teaching and outside tutoring, we wanted to be sure our student had every opportunity to practice in the same style and presentation as the actual test. We understand that standardized tests can be a challenge for many students, and we wanted to create an additional central resource for extra practice reps that would closely replicate the format of the test.
Indiana requires that all 3rd graders must pass the IREAD-3 standardized test or risk being retained in 3rd grade. The pressure is real — not just on the students, but on parents trying to find effective resources to help them prepare.
The Indiana Department of Education provides only a limited number of sample questions, and we couldn’t find a place where our 3rd grader could practice in the same digital screen-based format used during the actual test.
That’s what inspired us. We wanted to build the very resource we had been searching for: a centralized, efficient, and effective practice hub for students, parents, and teachers.
So, we created the IREAD-3 Practice App — a simple, engaging, and powerful tool designed to help kids get comfortable with the format, master the content, and build the confidence they need to pass this critical test.
We built this not as developers or a corporate testing company (we're certainly not either one), but as dedicated parents — and now, we’re proud to share it with other families who want to be proactive and prepared.
We hope you find it easy to use and helpful in your preparations for the Indiana IREAD-3 standardized test!
Sincerely,
Will and Adrienne
