Accurate, Valid, and Reliable in 20 Minutes or Less
With Amira ISIP Assess™, Amira proctors, observes, and scores by listening to students read aloud in English, Spanish, or both, taking the stress out of assessment for teachers and students.
Adaptive Assessments are Missing the Big Picture
-
Frustrated Students Just Click-Click-Click
Adaptive assessments take too long to proctor and create stress for struggling readers and advanced students end up bored and speed-click their way through the endless screens.
-
Without Integrated Voice AI, Inequities Persist
Students at risk require an understanding of diverse speech including accents and dialects. Amira uniquely analyzes oral reading down to the phoneme level.
-
Disconnected Data Delays Action
When assessment isn’t designed to inform instruction, teachers spend valuable time trying to make meaning and connect it to instruction. Plus, students have a harder time understanding how instruction connects to their areas for growth.
Faster, More Accurate Assessment Designed for How the Brain Learns
Amira ISIP Assess™ listens as students read aloud, capturing and analyzing sounds to generate insights that reflect real skill development and reading growth.
Students Read Aloud and Amira Listens
As students read aloud, Amira listens and measures skills through oral reading, capturing miscues and patterns. To students, it feels like practice, not a test.
Amira Analyzes Like a Specialist
Amira analyzes every word read aloud, detecting errors with expert accuracy and identifying early indicators of reading risk.
Neuroscience Guides the Analysis
Anchored in reading development research, Amira measures skills that truly matter and mirrors how the brain learns to read.
Adjusts in the Moment
Amira keeps students in the proximal zone, maintaining accuracy across all ability levels and minimizing frustration and test fatigue.
Insights are Actionable and Instant
Amira surfaces real-time insights teachers can use to identify student needs instantly including reading difficulties and risk.
When you look at how Amira’s assessment is structured, Amira is asking students to actively produce reading and reading is being captured, then supported. Amira helps teachers use the reporting dashboard to be able to see student deficiencies and how to best support students.Ebony BrownAcademic Coordinator, Elementary ELA
