🗨 What Texas Educators Are Saying

“We are a Title I district that has greatly been impacted by COVID. As we are tracking the growth of the students' reading levels, we are noticing that the majority of students are reading below grade level. We had 2 classrooms self-pilot the Skills portion of the [Amplify] Texas Elementary Literacy Program, and both classrooms saw tremendous gains after 4 weeks of using the program…We believe that using the Skills and Knowledge material from the Texas Elementary Literacy Program will give teachers the needed tools to ensure success for all students.”

- Everman ISD
