Dear Parents

 

We’re excited to share that your child is bringing home their login information for Boost Reading. This innovative online reading program aligns with the Amplify assessment program we use at school. Boost Reading is the licensed literacy acceleration and remediation program we’ve selected for our K-5 students, designed to enhance their learning experience.

 

This engaging program uses adaptive technology to provide personalized learning tailored to each student’s needs. Authored by experts in literacy, cognitive science, and instructional design, Boost Reading is built on proven teaching methods and incorporates the latest research on how students learn to read.

At school, your child will use Boost Reading about once a week in class.

 

We encourage students to continue their Boost Reading journey at home.  Starting today, Boost Reading will also be our regular reading homework once a week. Encourage your child to have fun and do their best, but please refrain from assisting them during this process. Your child must complete any activities independently for accurate personalisation. 

Boost Reading offers a fun and effective way to support your child’s literacy development. We look forward to seeing the progress they’ll make with this valuable tool!

 

Please click on this Amplify/Boost link then click on the scan button and use the QR code located in your child’s purple folder.

 

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

 

Kind regards,

Morah Ann-Lynn
