Prepare Students for STAAR

ReadTheory provides online IAR practice for students.

What is the IAR?

The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) is the state’s standardized test for students in grades 3–8. It measures proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, and is aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards, which are based on the Common Core. The IAR helps schools and families understand how well students are meeting grade-level expectations and progressing toward college and career readiness.

How can students practice for the IAR?

If you’re wondering how to prepare for state tests, ReadTheory’s practice passages help students build ELA skills and gain confidence for the IAR assessment in grades 3-8. By building reading comprehension skills and tackling multiple-choice questions in an engaging way, ReadTheory gives students the test-taking strategies and personalized study support they need to boost their test readiness and improve their scores.

Can I use ReadTheory for online IAR practice?

Yes! Getting started is easy. Deploy the pre-test to your students, identify critical reading proficiency gaps, and get comprehensive feedback in real-time. Most importantly, eliminate test anxiety, and even make it (dare we say) FUN with competitions and badges. With the right preparation, the IAR is an opportunity for your students to show off what they know.

Explore online IAR practice assessments and print worksheets for Grades K-12 to help build mastery towards the Illinois Learning Standards. For extra power to improve reading comprehension and more deeply engage students, consider ReadTheory’s school and district package.
