How It Works
Amira is the world’s first intelligent reading resource that provides personalized tutoring to students at school, after school, or at home. Students working with Amira experience significant improvements in their reading fluency.
The Student Experience
1. Pick a Story
Amira offers students appropriately complex stories and then students have the agency to choose the one for their reading session.
2. Read Aloud
The student reads out loud to Amira and Amira uses speech recognition technology to listen to the student and identify their reading skill gaps.
3. Amira Assesses
When students struggle, Amira uses artificial intelligence to select from 60 micro-interventions built by reading scientists and designed to accelerate mastery of phonics, phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension.
4. Access Tutoring
Amira then delivers immediate and individualized tutoring in the moment of struggle using the selected micro-intervention to help the student improve their reading ability.
5. Celebrate Growth
Amira celebrates student Growth and informs them of their progress.
The Teacher Experience
After each reading session, teachers or tutors are provided with immediately updated and incredibly detailed reports tracking student success or struggle down the phoneme level and across the pillars of reading.
Teachers are also provided with curated links to instructional resources and activities that teachers can use with students outside of Amira.
How Do Teachers Implement Amira in their Classrooms?
For maximum impact, students should use Amira 3x a week for 10-15 minutes a session. Amira can fit easily into existing school routines.
