📖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!
