HMH’s Amira Learning Approved as Alternative Assessment by Florida Department of Education

Learning technology company HMH announced that Amira Learning, the award-winning, first-of-its kind assessment and reading tutor software for students, has been approved as an alternative assessment for good cause promotion by Just Read, Florida!, the statewide, comprehensive and coordinated reading initiative that prioritizes reading in Florida’s public schools.

To be chosen, assessments must meet specific criteria of internal consistency reliability, high validity evidenced by alignment with nationally recognized standards, and more.

Amira is the culmination of 20+ years of reading research and is known for its use of state-of-the-art speech recognition and powerful AI software to provide 1:1 reading tutoring, oral fluency assessment, and dyslexia screening. Amira is at work in over 500 school districts and is expanding rapidly in the U.S. and abroad. Through scaffolded tutoring, Amira has been shown to double fluency growth in just 30+ minutes a week.
