About
Amira Learning is an AI-powered literacy platform purpose-built for K-12 educators and school districts. Grounded in the Science of Reading and informed by neuroscience, Amira connects three core components into a single cohesive suite: Amira ISIP Assess™, Amira Tutor™, and Amira Instruct™. Amira ISIP Assess™ delivers dynamic, continuous assessment by listening authentically as students read aloud, identifying skills mastery in real time and feeding actionable data back to teachers and administrators. Amira Tutor™ provides personalized 1:1 tutoring sessions, responding to each student in both English and Spanish and adapting feedback based on assessed proficiency. Amira Instruct™ empowers teachers by generating differentiated lesson plans, recommending targeted supplemental instruction, and calculating how much instructional time each student needs to reach mastery. Amira's biliteracy capabilities unite English and Spanish assessment, instruction, and tutoring into one seamless experience, making it particularly valuable for dual-language programs. The platform has been adopted across the United States and internationally, with independent research conducted by state agencies, universities, and education ministries validating its measurable impact on reading growth. Amira is ideally suited for districts seeking coherence from strategy to classroom practice, schools supporting English Language Learners, and administrators looking for data-driven literacy interventions backed by peer-reviewed science.
