Announcing 2025-2026 Adira Reads Implementation Grants

For the 2025-2026 school year, The Indy Learning Team is awarding 10 grants for the

implementation of Adira Reads System.

What: Adira Reads is an AI-powered thinking partner for educators, designed to reduce the

data analytics load for teachers and close foundational skill gaps by delivering real-time,

data-driven insights that save planning time and accelerate student growth through targeted, adaptive support.

Who Is Eligible: Grant supports schools implementing the Adira Reads system. Schools need to meet the following criteria:

● Make data driven decisions

● Use science-based phonics curriculum

● Provide or ability to provide small group phonics instruction

Grant Details:

The grant covers $7,500 of the cost with the schools matching 25% of the

total cost or $2,500. Services for the school year include:

1. Initial Assessment & Gap Analysis

The year begins with the administration of a Foundational Skills Screener that

identifies each student’s unique reading profile.

2. Custom Scope & Instructional Sequences

Based on each student’s screener results, Adira Reads generates a custom

instructional scope and sequence that aligns with the school’s existing curriculum.

This tailored plan ensures that teachers deliver precisely the content students need to

master, without adding new instructional burdens.

3. Adira Instructional Insights

Teachers submit short weekly lesson checks. Adira Reads analyzes this input using AI

to detect trends, flag skill gaps, and suggest real-time instructional adjustments.

4. Weekly Tracking and Reporting

Progress is tracked weekly, and insights are visualized in dashboards that inform

instruction. Teachers and administrators can see which skills are being mastered and

where reteaching is needed.

5. Monthly Regrouping & Instructional Optimization

Every four weeks, students are regrouped based on current performance data. This

dynamic model ensures that learners are not left behind or locked into static

intervention groups, maximizing instructional efficiency and engagement.
