GAIN EARLY INSIGHTS

Amira Learning provides the first assessment that offers teachers two universal screeners in one place. Amira assesses oral reading fluency and screens for dyslexia risk. The oral reading fluency assessment listens to a reader, carefully and accurately noting any errors. The dyslexia screener, which utilizes Rapid Automatized Naming, provides early identification of students at risk for dyslexia, enabling early intervention. Amira automatically builds running records, saving teachers time and eliminating hours of administrative tasks.

EXTEND THE CLASSROOM

Provide 1:1 practice anywhere a child has a device. Amira engages each student in reading practice delivered through a patient, highlytrained avatar that listens to a student read aloud and provides immediate feedback—whether in or out of the classroom. In under ten minutes, Amira’s assessment data provides teachers with the actionable insights they need to help inform instruction and grouping decisions, including the need for 1:1 practice. Amira’s assessment and practice work together to provide an evolving portrait of the class’s progress—timely information for Whole-Group Wrap-Up.
