Sample Materials
Grades K–2: Dedicated knowledge building and explicit skills instruction
Every day, students in Grades K–2 complete one full lesson that explicitly and systematically builds foundational reading skills in the Skills Strand, as well as one full lesson that builds robust background knowledge to access complex text in the Knowledge Strand. Through learning in each of these strands, students develop the early literacy skills necessary to help them become confident readers and build the context to understand what they’re reading.
Grades 3–5: Integrated instruction
In Grades 3–5, Knowledge and Skills are integrated in one set of instructional materials. Lessons begin to combine skills and knowledge with increasingly complex texts, close reading, and a greater writing emphasis. Students can then use their skills to go on their own independent reading adventures.

Students love the fascinating subjects in Amplify CKLA. An intentional approach to background knowledge invites students to dig deeper, inspiring curiosity and driving results.

Our commitment to equity
Our goal is to make education, and thereby the world, more equitable.
As part of our commitment to creating equitable and culturally responsive curricula, we now offer newly redesigned decodable Readers and six supplemental research units. The decodable stories with human characters now have improved inclusivity and authenticity, and feature individuals with a broad range of identity factors, including socioeconomic status, age, ability, race, ethnicity, country of origin, religion, and more. Supplemental Knowledge Research Units extend learning for Grades K–5, incorporating Amplify CKLA’s powerful and evidence-based instructional approach while also adding more diversity, authentic literature and flexibility. The authentic trade books in each of these units will give your students windows and mirrors, exposing them to diverse perspectives to inspire their curiosity and build knowledge.

Spanish Language Arts
To help educators foster great teaching and learning in both English and Spanish, we are proud to introduce Amplify Caminos. Amplify Caminos is an authentic elementary Spanish language arts program. Like its English language partner, Amplify CKLA, Amplify Caminos provides explicit, systematic foundational skills instruction sequenced with deep knowledge-building content to foster comprehension. When used with Amplify CKLA, Amplify Caminos provides full parity across English and Spanish that’s suitable for any dual language implementation model.
Support every student
Strong core instruction grounded in Science of Reading principles is crucial—but in isolation, even that’s not enough. To be powerful and effective, a literacy system needs to bring together assessment, curriculum, intervention, personalized learning, and ongoing professional development.
Amplify has combined these crucial elements in an early literacy suite of curriculum, assessment, intervention, and personalized learning. Our programs ensure that all educators have what they need to support every student within an aligned system based on research and effective practices.
