📖MGA Readers📖
📚 Reading Practice at Home (K-5)
Your child can now access personalized reading practice right from home through Amplify Boost Reading!
Boost Reading is an engaging, student-led digital program that adjusts to your child's unique needs using adaptive technology. It is a fantastic tool to keep your reader growing outside of the classroom.
🔗 Quick Links & Resources
Directions: Click on this link for directions on how your MGA student can access Amplify Boost Reading.
Learn More & Get Started: Click the Amplify Caregiver Hubfor tools, quick setup tips, and general FAQs.
💡 Quick Tips for Success at Home
- Let them work independently: The program adapts to your child's specific answers. If they get stuck, try not to give them the answer so the system can accurately learn and support their skill level.
- Keep it short: For grades K-3, aim for 30–45 minutes total per week (broken into 10–15 minute sessions). For grades 4-5, aim for 40–60 minutes total per week (broken into 20–30 minute sessions).
- Create a cozy spot: Grab a set of headphones, find a quiet space, and let them jump into the reading adventure!
