“ Think about one teacher in a classroom, whether it's kindergarten, whether it's fifth grade, Amira steps in and does a phenomenal job with lifting that load and helping our teachers get scholars to where they need to be.”
Michael Thompson, Principal
Clayton County School District
“Amira is like giving an additional tutor to each student in the classroom who wouldn't love that. The effect that it could have and the time that it could save in the classroom. And, the effectiveness of it. The teachers really got on board.”
Chelby Slappy, 1st Grade Teacher
Clayton County School District
“Amira helps me as a teacher because she is a personal tutor to each one of my students. They all come in at different reading levels, different levels of understanding or even comprehension. She really coaches them.”
Seygona Davis, 5th Grade Teacher
Clayton County School District
“It has become a competition for many of them. I can see where they're growing. When we are reading together, I see where they're actually breaking down their words. I see where for everybody it is actually a great help.”
Bethany Wright, Kindergarten Teacher
Clayton County School District
“For me as a teacher, what I like about Amira is that when I go into the reports or I go to do their progress monitoring the work that they've done all week with their reading, it gives me a detailed report on where they're struggling.”
Madhuri Chopra, Academic Coach Supporting Literacy
Clayton County School District
“Amira builds on decoding, Amira builds on comprehension, vocabulary. So when it's building on all those components of literacy, and I know this, Amira is backed by Science of Reading, the students are becoming more fluent readers.”
