About the Indiana ILEARN & IREAD

ILEARN is Indiana's state test, written to the Indiana Academic Standards. Since 2025-26 it runs as a through-year model in grades 3-8: three shorter Checkpoints during the year, then a shortened end-of-year test. Indiana also tests early reading with IREAD in grades 2 and 3.

Which grades and subjects take the Indiana ILEARN & IREAD

Indiana Learning Evaluation and Assessment Readiness Network (ILEARN) and IREAD, run by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).

  • βœ“ELA and math in grades 3-8: three ILEARN Checkpoints across the year plus an end-of-year summative
  • βœ“Science in grades 4 and 6, and social studies in grade 5
  • βœ“IREAD foundational reading in grades 2 and 3
  • βœ“High school: the Biology end-of-course assessment (ECA), with U.S. Government optional

Format and timing

ILEARN is computer-based, and ELA and math are computer-adaptive. In 2025-26 the three Checkpoints ran from mid-September to early April, with the end-of-year summative in April and May. IDOE describes ILEARN as mainly untimed adaptive tests; the ELA and math performance-task sessions must be finished in the same school day. IREAD is also untimed and is given in March, with a summer retest.

Question types

  • Multiple choice and technology-enhanced items, such as ordering steps or highlighting evidence in a text
  • An ELA research performance task, where students write an essay or story using sources
  • Open-ended, hand-scored math items

What the results are used for

ILEARN is mainly used to track progress and for school accountability. IREAD carries real stakes: a grade 3 student who does not pass IREAD and does not qualify for a Good Cause Exemption must be retained, so the grade 2 and grade 3 administrations are an important early warning.

The Checkpoints give you three chances a year to see how your child is doing before the end-of-year test, so use each report to focus practice. For younger children, IREAD success depends on phonics, fluency and comprehension. The study portal generates ILEARN-style reading and math practice and IREAD-style reading questions at your child's level, with answers behind your parent PIN.

For teachers

Use Checkpoint results to group students, then build Indiana Academic Standards-aligned practice with the test generator: technology-enhanced style questions rewritten for paper, a short research writing task and open-ended math with an answer key. Make IREAD-focused reading practice for grade 2 and 3 intervention groups.
