We’re here to support your goals.

It’s a new year, but you may be facing some all-too-familiar COVID-19 challenges once again. We’re here to support you with remote and hybrid learning resources for Amplify Reading instruction. We recently sent an email featuring these tools, but if you missed it, you can find them highlighted anytime on the start.amplify.com Amplify Reading page. Whether learning is taking place fully remote from home or through a blend of remote and in-person instruction, these resources will remain available to support your changing needs.


During times of remote learning, we know it’s even more important that caregivers be involved in student progress and feel empowered to support their instructional needs. We encourage you to share the Amplify Reading Caregiver site to provide curriculum details, an overview of what to expect, and resources to use with students at home.


If this is your first time receiving the Amplify Reading newsletter, welcome! Each month we share the most important information you need to know: program highlights and announcements, upcoming events, tips for the classroom, educator spotlights, and more.


Are you working with your students to set any 2022 goals? We created a fun goal-setting sheet to help you get the ball rolling. Download and share this free worksheet to start 2022 off strong!

Advice and answers

Making the most of your Teacher Dashboard

Now that we’re halfway through the school year, we want to highlight the student data-related features available in your Teacher Dashboard:

  • Growth risk: Amplify Reading measures your students’ growth and risk levels throughout the school year to help you evaluate the efficacy of your instructional support.
  • Instructional recommendations: Instructional guidance is provided based on your students’ growth rates, performance on the assessment, and usage.
  • Student Detail View: You can view collective data on the Insights page of your Teacher Dashboard, but if you’d like more detailed information about a particular student, you can examine individual student graphs in our Student Detail View.

We’re interested in learning about your experience with student-level reporting within Amplify Reading’s Dashboard.
