Amira: Revolutionizing Reading Growth
Amira is not just an ordinary reading assistant; it's an Intelligent Growth Engine. Grounded in brain-science, it develops coherence across the strands of the Reading Rope. Its Assess, Instruct, and Tutor (AIT) method is highly effective, delivering an effect size of over 0.4 and resulting in significantly accelerated reading growth. This is more than twice as effective as traditional approaches.
Amira's features are impressive. It analyzes students' reading performance in real time, detects reading risks using tasks like RAN and Nonsense Word Fluency, and sends instant alerts. It also generates HQIM and Instructional Guidance aligned with the scope and sequence, guiding precise tutoring for targeted learning. Moreover, it continuously assesses and adjusts instructional recommendations and tutoring to ensure consistent literacy growth.
For bilingual programs, Amira strategically incorporates cognates into adaptive instruction. This expands each student's learning potential by using their native language to boost English proficiency. Educators can also compare student performance and progress in both languages side-by-side.
With Amira, students experience reading growth rates up to 2.5 times faster than traditional methods. It has logged over 10 billion minutes of reading, supporting students worldwide. Just 30 minutes of practice per week with Amira leads to significant reading gains.
