Boost Reading and Boost Lectura announcement
Amplify Reading will soon go by a different name: Boost Reading. Similarly, Amplify Close Reading will soon go by Boost Close Reading. Amplify is dedicated to addressing literacy gaps and supporting educators to meet the needs of all of their students. The new branding exemplifies what these next-generation intervention and remediation tools do—boost foundational literacy skills for all students. This change will be rolling out over the course of the summer!
We’re also thrilled to introduce a brand new program: Boost Lectura. Boost Lectura is a highly personalized program designed to accelerate Spanish literacy foundational skills for K–2 students. Learn more about Boost Lectura!

💬 Advice and answers

Are students meeting their weekly usage goals?
If so, why not reward them with an Amplify Reading certificate? We have one for grades K–3 and grades 4–5. If not, consider setting up a usage competition for this week or check in with the students who need to spend more time in the program. Use this Classroom Curioso Kit to promote the competition!
