Welcome, Amplify Tutoring caregivers!

High-impact tutoring is small-group, targeted instruction that can lead to significant learning gains. Amplify Tutoring achieves these gains through the following best practices:

Data-driven materials	Frequent and consistent high-impact tutoring sessions	Supportive relationships and training
Tutors use instructional materials aligned with the Science of Reading, tailored to your student’s needs, based on their mCLASS® reading assessment results. Comprehensive reports track progress and growth.	Tutors provide personalized attention in small groups. Our program is designed for students to participate in three or more 30-minute sessions per week.	Consistent tutor-student pairings support relationship-building and higher achievement. Tutors receive ongoing professional development.

Amplify Tutoring provides your student with engaging and effective tutoring programming throughout the year.

Talking to your student about their Amplify Tutoring sessions

• What new reading skills or strategies have you learned?
• How has your reading improved since starting tutoring?
• Do you have any favorite books or activities in tutoring?

Setting goals together

Ask:

• What reading skills would you like to improve in tutoring?
• What goal would you like to achieve by the end of the tutoring program?
• What steps can you take to help achieve those goals?
• How can I help support your goals?

Sharing your support

Ask:

• How can I help you with your reading?
• Can we set aside time each day for you to practice reading?
• Would you like to read some of your books out loud to me?
• Tell me about a book you are reading right now.
  • Who are the main characters?
  • Where does the story take place?
  • Can you retell the main events of the story to me?

Amplify Tutoring works for students who need it most! In one large study of Amplify Tutoring in action, 70 percent of students who scored below benchmark and participated regularly in Amplify Tutoring made above-average growth. Tutored students were 22 percentage points more likely to make outsized growth than peers with a similar profile who did not receive high-impact tutoring at their school.
