More About Amira
Amira Learning marries speech recognition and artificial intelligence with the Science of Reading to deliver personalized, real time tutoring to students as they practice reading.
As students read passages aloud from the canon of treasures curated by Dr. Bill Bennett, Amira listens and assesses. When students struggle, Amira provides in-the-moment feedback and support. Using its intelligent voice recognition, every child is reading in their own voice, at their own level—in English or Spanish—with moment-by-moment support from Amira.
What’s more, Amira provides teachers with reports that contain detailed and secure data on the progress of each student. The focus on reading skills provides teachers with the most up-to-date and effective instructional tools.
Note: In SC, Resilience comes at no cost to the first 10,000 students whose schools are committed to implementing the program with fidelity, thanks to an Innovation Grant from the SC Department of Education.
