EPS Learning is pleased to announce its selection by the Iowa Department of Education through a competitive bid process to offer fully funded access to 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.
