Overview of the integrated eReader

Amplify Reading has a library of 35 fiction and non-fiction ebooks that students encounter on their reading journeys along our adaptive learning map. These books include familiar activities from skill games, allowing students to apply the skills they are practicing in games to real texts.

Books for grades K-2 give students the chance to practice their decoding and comprehension skills in engaging picture books. In grades 3-5, the program shifts focus to have students apply their skills to longer and more complex grade-level chapter books.
