    Iowa Department of Education Selects EPS Learning to Offer Elementary Schools Free Access to AI-Powered Literacy Solution

    EPS Learning, the leading provider of PreK-12 literacy solutions, has been selected by the Iowa Department of Education through a competitive bid process to offer fully funded access to its AI-powered EPS Reading Assistant for all elementary school teachers and students through the summer of 2025. Iowa’s $3 million investment is part of a state-wide initiative to improve reading outcomes for all elementary school students across 365 public school districts and 145 accredited nonpublic schools.

    Firmly grounded in the science of reading, EPS Reading Assistant is an online literacy program that uses sophisticated speech recognition and safe artificial intelligence (AI) to listen, assess, and tutor students in foundational reading skills at each student’s just-right level. In turn, educators are equipped with actionable performance data, guiding them to where their instruction will matter most.

    “We believe EPS Reading Assistant can significantly enhance instructional effectiveness and transform the reading experience for students,” said Steven Guttentag, CEO of EPS Learning. “We’re proud to be a trusted partner of the State of Iowa in helping kids of all levels develop strong literacy skills: capabilities that open them up to a world of possibilities. Our goal is to ensure that every educator in Iowa has the tools they need to make this difference in their classrooms.”

    EPS Reading Assistant launched in March 2024 in partnership with Amira Learning, the developer of the first AI-powered reading assistant which has helped millions of students with reading fluency and comprehension. When coupled with other EPS Learning solutions like S.P.I.R.E.—the reading intervention program used in 20% of districts nationwide including 36 Iowan school districts—EPS Reading Assistant has been proven to accelerate student achievement in foundational reading skills, including in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension. Independent academic research out of Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University and other R1 institutions has confirmed the efficacy of EPS Reading Assistant’s technology powered by Amira: users in the studies have achieved two to three times greater progress in reading ability compared to non-users.

    “At Amira, we’ve developed the world’s most sophisticated speech recognition solution for early learners, helping millions of students improve their reading skills,” said Mark Angel, CEO of Amira Learning. “EPS Learning is a well-established company known for delivering high-quality literacy solutions, and we’re proud to partner with them to bring Amira’s groundbreaking technology to even more classrooms and make a real difference in the lives of children.”

    Iowa public and nonpublic educators will have EPS Reading Assistant licenses available for the 2024-25 academic year and 2025 summer school, as well as access to synchronous and asynchronous training and support from EPS Learning.
