Amira: Science of Reading Meets AI
Amira is an AI reading assistant that serves as a personal reading tutor, offering students automated running records to track errors and self-corrections, providing educators with in-depth, organized assessment results (Amira Learning, 2023). Teachers do not have to spend hours sitting one-to-one with students doing running records. Instead, students can be assessed using a mobile device on their reading skills such as decoding, phonological awareness, sight recognition, background knowledge, vocabulary, structures and reasoning (Amira Learning, 2023).
Lexplore: Efficient Reading Assessment
Lexplore, an AI reading assessment tool used in Sweden, uses eye tracking and AI to conduct reading assessments for Grades 1 to 4. The eye movement shows the brain’s reading process, providing reading skill results in five levels: high, above average, average, below average, and low (Lexplore, 2022).
