Not Just an Approved Screener, a More Reliable Screener

Amira ranked as a top screener for reliability, validity, and effectiveness by the Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy after rigorous evaluation.

Highest-Rated by the Deal Center for Literacy

The Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Literacy conducted an evaluation of screeners on behalf of the State of Georgia. The research determined that Amira measured more Science of Reading constructs with greater ease of administration and higher levels of usability and support than all other screeners.

Most importantly, Amira rated best for technical adequacy—delivering the most accurate, reliable, valid, and equitable screener compared to any other screener used by Georgia Districts.

Amira has received the highest ratings from NCII, is the sole or recommended screener in six states and has been approved by almost every State Education Agency in America.

Will Amira be available for Georgia’s Pre-K students in public schools?
No, the current contract covers K-3 students in English and Spanish.

Can Amira be used for students in grades 3-5?
Yes, Amira is currently available for grades K-6 and will expand to K-8 next year.
Cost & Purchasing Options

Will everything included today be free?
The diagnostic screener is free. The AI tutor and instructional assistant are available at an additional cost.

Will districts have to pay the full price for additional Amira features, or can they cover just the difference?
Districts can choose to pay the difference for AI tutoring and instructional assistance rather than purchasing the entire product. Your Amira account representative can provide details.

Can schools purchase the AI tutor for a subset of students rather than for an entire district or school?
Yes, the AI tutor can be purchased for specific student groups or individuals. Contact your Amira account representative for more information.

Which grade levels will the state cover for free?

Functionality & Use

Is Amira directly available through the company or a resale vendor?

Where is the best place for children to be assessed? Can the software filter classroom noise?
Amira is designed to function effectively in a noisy classroom. Students can be assessed in whole group, small group, or one-on-one settings. The software prioritizes the voice in front of the device microphone, minimizing background noise interference.

Do students need to wear headphones with a microphone?
No, headphones are not required. Some teachers prefer them to minimize distractions, while others find them unnecessary. Amira can accurately capture students’ voices using the device microphone. If you choose to use headphones, we have a list of recommended models: Contact your Amira Representative for more details.

Does Amira integrate with other systems for data reporting?
Yes, Amira allows data export and can integrate with other reporting systems.
Research & Data

Is there data available for English Language Learners (ELLs) using Amira?
Yes. Contact your Amira representative for more details.

For The DEAL Center’s evaluation process, did the evaluation include all of these components or just the diagnostic screener?
The evaluation focused on the diagnostic screener. Additional components, such as the AI tutor and instructional assistant, were considered separately.
Company Information

"The main thing that I absolutely love is the amount of practice that the students get. And it's tailored practice for that child. And it's real time. A teacher can't sit down with all of her students at one time and give that tailored practice."

- Mindy, District Level Early Literacy Specialist, Dougherty County School System
