Amira Learning

What is Amira Learning?

Amira Learning provides a reading suite that connects assessment, instruction and tutoring. It listens to students read aloud and analyzes how they read words, including what was read correctly, skipped, changed and where they struggled. It gives feedback in the moment so teachers can individualize instruction, and educators make the instructional decisions.

Key capabilities of Amira Learning

• Amira ISIP Assess: dynamic assessment that identifies skills mastery.
• Amira Instruct: differentiated lesson plans with estimated instructional time per student.
• Amira Tutor: one-to-one practice in English and Spanish.
• Amira Lectura: assessment, instruction and tutoring in Spanish.
• Amira Studio: a workspace for teachers to build their own resources.
• Privacy controls: no biometric identifier created from voice, and audio not retained by default.

How Amira Learning works

A student reads aloud, Amira analyzes the reading and gives immediate feedback, and teachers see evidence and recommended instruction. The vendor traces its roots to Project LISTEN at Carnegie Mellon University and reports a Columbia University study finding Amira matched the impact of human tutoring in 30 sessions.

Who uses Amira Learning?

Teachers, school and district leaders, and families each have a path on the site, though families are told Amira is adopted through districts. It is used in the United States, Northern Ireland, Latin America and the Caribbean. The vendor says its reading screener is approved in 40+ states.
