The Amplify Reading newsletter | Upcoming webinars and helpful resources

This time of year brings a lot of anticipation, excitement, and information. Our goal is to guide you and your students with easy-to-understand resources to support you during the first few days, weeks, and even months of the year.

To that end is the newly-added Remote and Hybrid Learning Support section of the website we’ve designed with you in mind—start.amplify.com. Don’t miss this section on the Amplify Reading page, equipping you with the tools to excel regardless of your teaching scenario.

Have you registered for the upcoming webinar series, Back to Basics: Getting started with Amplify Reading? You can find details on this event and so much more in the “Announcements” area of the start.amplify Amplify Reading page.

In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, download these printable bookmarks to share with your students.
