Boost Reading
Boost Reading (K-2) is available for all schools!
We are excited to share a fun Boost Reading resource that teachers can use to creatively connect with their students, while motivating them to increase their weekly Boost Reading usage. These Digital Classroom Assets have been loaded onto a Powerpoint, so that the images and slides can be used in many and varied ways to support remote instruction.
Share this Boost Reading Log to your students and they can keep track of their weekly BR time. Tip: If families have access to a printer, they can print out the file for daily use at home. Put scotch tape over the area for the date and minutes and make it a wipe-off surface! Sample photo.
Looking for ways to motivate your students? We’ve created resources to support remote engagement with Boost Reading Fun. Digital downloads below.

Implementation Resources
Boost Reading (K-2) is available for all schools! When your students are not learning from you, they can continue to learn on their own. And the more your kids are on it, the better they do in reading.
This year, we have made it easier than ever for teachers and students. Students do not have to wait to be assessed on DIBELS to be placed into the program.
When a student uses Boost Reading for the first time, the program determines the initial level of content they will see, based on their unique learning needs.
Students are placed into the adaptive learning map by using their most recent supported assessment data or by taking an alternate placement activity provided by the Boost program.
Once they are assessed in DIBELS, the program will automatically adjust based on that data and will give them the skills they need practice in. Teachers and students are able to directly connect to Boost Reading from the Amplify app within Schoology using their SSO. (Teachers no longer need a class login or QR code for their students.) Teachers and administrators have additional reporting features on the Boost Reading dashboard to support the progress of students.
1. Log into Schoology at lms.lausd.net.
2. Locate Amplify app and find Amplify’s Educator Home page.
3. Click into and directly connect to Boost Reading. (No additional login required.)
