We are so glad you have signed up for the EPS Reading Assistant featuring Amira – a self-paced reading practice powered by AI. This is completely free to you through the Scott County Library System!

Read as much or as little as you would like, but at least 30 minutes a week is recommended. Carnegie Melon and DePaul Universities found students could achieve a significant improvement on reading ability by using Amira.

No personal data or reading progress will be shared – this is simply a tool for families to improve reading skills and fluency. The AI behind Reading Assistant only draws from a carefully designed and pre-approved set of responses. It cannot browse the internet, generate open-ended content, or go off-script in any way. Everything your child hears—from questions to feedback—has been reviewed and approved by educators and literacy experts.
