All NYC students will receive access to Amira through summer 2023, which means that they can use the platform both at home and in Summer Rising to help them continue receiving targeted and individualized feedback on their literacy growth between school years! The resources below are available to help you share more information about Amira with parents and caregivers who can feel confident that their child is getting support and reducing summer slide.
Questions? Reach out to your district's School Success Manager on the "Contact" page to get help!
