My wife, Adrienne, and I are just everyday parents who found ourselves in a high-stakes situation that many Indiana families now face. After our son took the IRead test in 2nd grade, it became clear that he needed extra support before facing the real thing in 3rd grade — the year that matters most.

Indiana requires that all 3rd graders must pass the IRead-3 standardized test or risk being held back to repeat 3rd grade. The pressure is real — not just on the students, but on parents and teachers trying to find effective resources to help them prepare.

We spent months piecing together practice questions from scattered corners of the internet. The Indiana Department of Education provides only a very limited number of sample questions, and we couldn’t find a place where our son 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
