Venture Round in 2020

Amira Learning offers an intelligent reading assistant that listens, assesses, and tutors. Amira recommends appropriately challenging stories, listens as a student reads aloud, and intervenes when helpful. The company assesses oral reading fluency and analyzes errors to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. Every time a student and Amira read together, Amira generates diagnostic reports that empower teachers and parents. It gives teachers more time to teach and gives students a more effective way to practice.
