Announcing Amplify’s Boost suite
Our digital, personalized learning programs are being renamed under our new Boost brand!
The new names represent what our programs do—boost foundational literacy skills for all students.
Boost Reading (formerly Amplify Reading)
Boost Close Reading (formerly Amplify Close Reading)
Boost Reading+ (formerly Skills Boost)
Boost Lectura (new this school year!)
You and your students will see the new Boost names in the program(s) and program resources beginning July 2023. You still have access to the program(s) you know and love, under the new Boost name.
Introducing Boost Lectura!
We are excited to announce Boost Lectura, our new personalized Spanish literacy program for grades K–2!
Boost Lectura is built on the Science of Reading. The program’s rich content was created with Spanish literacy experts representing various Spanish-speaking regions, and the scope and sequence focuses on how Spanish literacy develops.
When paired with Boost Reading, the two programs provide instructional parity and data insights for English and Spanish literacy, supporting transfer of critical literacy skills between languages.
This groundbreaking new program can be used on its own or integrated into any dual language or English immersion model. You do not need to speak Spanish to use the program with your students. Learn more about Boost Lectura and request more information on our website.

Review 2022–2023 Updates
Embedded Benchmark Assessment
As a reminder, Boost Reading assesses students’ overall text reading proficiency level with Boost Reading Benchmark Assessment and provides detailed reporting.
The measure is administered once during each benchmark period—Beginning of Year (BOY), Middle of Year (MOY), and End of Year (MOY), and places students (and re-places them mid-year) on their personalized path along Boost Reading’s adaptive skill map. And, for students in grades 1–5, the Benchmark assessment leverages powerful voice recognition technology to assess student’s fluency and proficiency.
Additionally, the Boost Reading Benchmark Assessment data is available in the Teacher Dashboard and provides key insight for educators to better identify areas for student improvement. Learn more about the Benchmark Assessment.
Please note: students in schools or districts with mCLASS do not experience the Boost Reading Benchmark Assessment.
