iLEAD AV Exploration Partners with Amira Learning to Boost Reading Skills

iLEAD AV Exploration learners reading 11.7.2024

This year, iLEAD AV Exploration has partnered with Amira Learning in support of our readers. Amira is a digital reading tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to assess learners’ reading mastery and coach them through new reading skills. Here is an overview of Amira for families like ours who are using the platform at home.

During the week of September 15, our school will administer Benchmark Assessments through Amira to grades K-2 so that we can:

In addition to taking the Benchmark Assessment, learners will also use Amira’s “Practice” mode to strengthen their reading skills. They will read out loud, receive interventions and support, and talk about the story they’ve read to build their comprehension skills.

Amira is a program committed to AI safety for learners. Amira uses AI to select from a predetermined set of interventions and responses. Amira does not pull from the internet and cannot respond to learners outside of the curated options vetted by humans. All learner data is protected and owned by the district. Our team has been thoroughly impressed with their efficacy data and work with education researchers to develop the best product for learners.

Based on the information from Amira’s assessment and practice components, it’s possible we will contact you about additional support and resources for your learner. We appreciate your partnership as we help our learners become stronger readers!

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your EF with questions.
