A Faster, More Accurate Reading Assessment

Amira screens an entire class in 20 minutes or less by simply listening to students read aloud, capturing and analyzing over 10x more measurement points than traditional assessments.

There’s no test-taking pressure, lost instructional time or classroom disruption. In fact, most students don’t even realize they’re being assessed.

Amira Observes and Adapts to Understand

Amira authentically measures reading mastery through productive oral tasks, like ORF, letter sounding and decoding pseudo-words. By analyzing real-time reading behaviors—like miscues, patterns, pauses, and self-corrections—Amira assesses what students know and pinpoints the specific skills that need further development.

The unique combination of observing actual reading and adapting items as the assessment unfolds makes Amira more accurately measures reading skills in less time—delivering diagnostic insights aligned Scarborough's’ Read Rope and the Duke's Active View of Reading.

Modern Psychometrics Power More Reliable Results

Amira uses advanced, modern psychometrics, including multi-stage adaptation and item response theory to assess reading development. Decades of neuroscience research inform Amira’s approach, enabling reliable assessment even of pre-readers.

Amira adjusts in real time to each student’s reading behaviors by listening and responding to how they read—unlike a fixed computer-adaptive assessment—ensuring students are never overwhelmed or under-challenged.

By zeroing in on every student’s reading level, Amira keeps students engaged, reduces frustration, and creates a smoother, more supportive experience—saving valuable time while capturing the precise insights teachers need to guide instruction.
