Amira's Impact in Large Districts
Watch the video to learn how one educator in the Chicago Public School District leverages Amira to support her struggling students. From gathering reports to listening to student recordings to filling in gaps in education from the pandemic, Amira is helping every CPS student become a confident reader.
It's great for those struggling kids. If you just keep having them read stuff that's way above their level, they're never going to grow. You need to give them the grade level standards and grade level texts, but you also need to support them to help them grow in their reading. Amira helps us with that.
