Amira ISIP Assess is an AI-driven, voice-based reading assessment platform designed for K–8 students. The system listens to students as they read aloud, capturing and analyzing over ten times more measurement points than traditional assessments. By observing real-time reading behaviors—such as miscues, patterns, pauses, and self-corrections—Amira provides a comprehensive, adaptive evaluation of reading mastery. The assessment covers a wide range of foundational literacy skills, including oral reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, phonological awareness, decoding, and executive function. Amira ISIP Assess screens an entire class in 20 minutes or less, minimizing test-taking pressure and classroom disruption. The platform automatically proctors, observes, and scores assessments, delivering diagnostic insights aligned with established reading science frameworks. Teachers receive actionable reports and can access secure audio recordings of student sessions for further review. The system supports accommodations for students with IEPs or speech challenges and is designed to ensure equity and accuracy in reading assessment.
