Amplify Digital Supplemental Tools

Temporary Licensed Supplemental Online Learning 

Amplify Reading Texas is a supplemental, personalized learning product that provides students with self-directed, customized lessons designed to improve their reading proficiency. It can be used to supplement any core reading curriculum. Versions specific to K–2 and 6–8 of the product were temporarily licensed via emergency procurement to assist with remote instruction in the early portion of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to provide ongoing tutoring to accelerate student learning for students whose level of literacy was impacted by the disruptions of the pandemic. School systems may use these resources if they choose to do so locally, free of charge, until the license expires. Beyond these dates, or for grade levels outside these, school systems must determine if they wish to pay the cost to license the products themselves.

K–2 Supplemental Reading: For early elementary students, Amplify Reading provides an engaging adventure that practices phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The agency provided temporary licenses for Amplify Reading, but those statewide licenses expired in August 2022. 

6–8 Supplemental Reading:  For middle schoolers, the Amplify Reading Texas adaptive learning program has storylines that engage students in powerful, independent reading instruction and practice. Whether students are learning to read fluently or sharpening analytical reading skills, Amplify Reading Texas accelerates their growth while freeing educators up to work with small groups or individual students. The 6-8 statewide license expires in September 2023.

COVID-19 Notice 

In the early stages of the COVID-19 impact on schools, TEA went through a rapid review process to support schools with instructional material resources that could be used both in person and remotely as a contingency option. As a result, certain instructional materials were made available on a rapid timeline in 2020 and have been subject to multiple rounds of revisions. Given the timeline for development, errors are to be expected, but the agency remains committed to fixing issues as they are identified. To ensure robust review, feedback is being gathered from parents, caregivers, educators, and organizations across the state. This feedback will inform the continuous improvement of subsequent units and editions.

Help guide continuous improvement by taking our online survey. If you have questions or concerns about the instructional materials, please email us.
