Vocabulary development is one of the strongest predictors of long-term reading comprehension — and this Carnegie Mellon University study proves that Amira's AI-guided oral reading practice is one of the most effective ways to build it. Researchers found that students who read aloud with Amira's AI reading tutor demonstrated significantly stronger vocabulary gains compared to students practicing independently or silently.
