Read on to learn more about all the new ways we’re supporting educators and caregivers in remote and hybrid learning environments. 

Remote learning tips

Amplify Reading can help you and your students stay connected in a socially distanced classroom or remote scenario, while ensuring that they get the critical literacy skills instruction and practice they need.

Announcing our new Amplify Reading Facebook group!

This group is designed specifically for educators and caregivers to learn more about Amplify Reading, collaborate, ask questions, and share ideas to create the best educational experience for students and their communities.

Share the Caregiver Hub with your families

Helping families adjust to instruction at home has become a longer-term challenge than we’d expected. We’re pleased to add our support with our new Amplify Reading Caregiver Hub. It provides tools and resources in both English and Spanish to help families and guardians navigate the program with their children. Please share freely with your families.
