Science of Reading Programs - K–5 Literacy

“There were other programs that claimed to be Science of Reading, but no other vendor provided the suite of products together. And that is what we were looking for. We did not want to be picking from here, picking from there. So from our perspective, [Amplify’s literacy suite] met our needs because it aligned and provided us the best suite of products. Hands down, we couldn't find anybody else who touched that.”

Nicole Peterson, Director, PreK–8th Grade Education Sampson County Schools, North Carolina
