Utah: Get Boost Reading with EISP Grant Funding

Boost Reading is a research-based, standards aligned program that supports students along an adaptive path of increasingly complicated texts and literary concepts. Students find these games embedded in an engaging narrative world that grows as they do, whether they are learning foundational skills or mastering close reading with our solution for reading comprehension.

How does Boost Reading equip you to support individual literacy needs across your classroom?

• Benchmark and progress-monitoring assessments to give you insight into student growth and areas for improvement
• Adaptive technology that provides engaging learning experiences unique to each reader’s needs
• Growth and proficiency reports for individual students and the whole class
• Targeted lesson plans and a teacher guide aligned to the Science of Reading

Boost Reading is an adaptive K–5 personalized learning program, grounded in the Science of Reading, that directly aligns to the Amplify CKLA Skills Strand. The program provides explicit and systematic practice in language, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension, while also reinforcing knowledge topics.

• Boost Reading and Amplify CKLA share the same pedagogy and sequencing of foundational skills. This powerful alignment strengthens and reinforces your core instruction by targeting critical skill gaps.
  • After the placement assessment, students begin with phonological awareness and then more specifically phonemic awareness.
  • Students move to decoding and encoding words that they just learned.
  • Student then engage in reading rich texts to practice their skills.
  • And finally, students receive explicit personalized instruction in the comprehension process.
• Boost Reading builds on the skills students learn in Amplify CKLA, reinforcing instruction based on student need and deepening understanding.
• Advanced reporting in Boost Reading’s easy-to-use Teacher Dashboard allows you to see classroom-level insights along with individual areas of strengths and trouble spots.
• Boost Reading is adaptive and student-led. It fits into any classroom model, allowing for full independent practice with minimal interruptions while you work with other students.

In just 30 minutes of use per week, Boost Reading is proven to improve results on all DIBELS 8th Edition measures and increase the number of students on track for reading success in grades K–5, meeting ESSA’s Moderate (Tier 2) Evidence criteria. Nearly 65% of Boost Reading kindergarten students who started the year “at-risk” ended the year at benchmark or above. Dive into our recent efficacy study on the Boost Reading research page.

The highly adaptive technology creates individual skill maps for each student, whether they’re reading below, at, or above grade level, providing simultaneous remediation and advancement in different skill domains. The program is an effective component of your classroom’s remediation and intervention solutions, with explicit instruction for all students, including those with dyslexia or in special education classes.
