Amplify’s research brief on the latest K–2 middle-of-school-year literacy data reveals encouraging gains in early reading, particularly among the nation’s youngest students. This year’s kindergarten cohort has returned to pre-pandemic literacy readiness levels. But overall progress remains slow: Only 56% of students are on track for learning to read, and 29% of students are far behind.
Middle-of-year data can help schools plan for instructional changes and implement those changes before the following school year. See the report’s recommendations for actions schools and districts can take now.
Amplify’s high-quality programs benefit millions of students every day using methods that are evidence-based, ESSA-aligned, and showing efficacy in a variety of contexts. Read more research and case studies and see more briefs on early literacy.

Learn more about MTSS in literacy principles and how to align it with the Science of Reading.
To provide your students with literacy instruction that meets their needs, you need seamless planning and plenty of forethought. Deliver the instruction, assessment, and personalized learning your students deserve with a Multi-Tiered System of Supports grounded in data and the Science of Reading.
Read about the five guiding principles that can help you align your MTSS with the Science of Reading in our free ebook Systems of Success: Getting Started With a Multi-Tiered System of Supports Aligned to the Science of Reading.
An effective MTSS framework requires collaboration from all stakeholders (such as teachers, administrators, and caregivers) to ensure students have access to the right instructional support at the right time.
Frequent collection and interpretation of high-quality data is essential to identifying student needs, monitoring progress, and guiding decision-making. Universal screening and progress monitoring data are used to evaluate the effectiveness of all tiers in an MTSS, and to identify students at risk.
An MTSS provides increasing levels of support for students when they need it. It also focuses on prevention first to reduce the need for intervention later.
Implementing evidence-based instruction and interventions with fidelity improves outcomes for all students. A focus on all students, not just those in need of additional support, ensures that all students can access high-quality instruction.
In an MTSS framework, decisions are based on research and the constantly evolving needs of all students and schools.

The reality is…writing is hard. It’s hard to learn, it’s hard to teach, it’s hard to do.
Natalie Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap and The Writing Revolution, says, “Writing is the hardest thing we ask students to do.” Fortunately, we have decades of research that shows us how best to teach and learn how to write, known as the Science of Writing. As an educator your job is to make this hard task easier and more fulfilling for students. And our job is to help you.
Without writing, there would be no need for reading, and of course, writing is a part of literacy.
Through writing, students can express their ideas, connect with others, and deepen and communicate their understanding of what they are reading and thinking.
Having strong writing skills ensures students can engage fully in all settings, share their opinions and information, tell stories, and have a voice.
Learning to write (and read) isn’t natural but it can be taught—and research shows us how. Like the Science of Reading, the Science of Writing is the collection of research and evidence-based practices that explains how writing develops along with the teaching strategies that help students develop into skilled writers.
Writing proficiency involves mastering the use of a complex set of skills that must be taught explicitly, again just like reading proficiency. The Simple View of Writing breaks down these processes into transcription and composition, and provides us with a framework for guiding instruction.
Reading and writing reinforce and support each other. When reading, students are exposed to vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. And when writing, students can get more practice to improve the fluency and efficiency of their handwriting, and apply their knowledge of spelling and their understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.
Readers use comprehension skills such as summarizing, predicting, and making inferences to help them create meaning as they read. Writers use those same skills to develop a piece of writing that is clear and concise for the reader.
Oral language is the foundation for literacy, and its development begins in infancy. As their oral language develops, children learn how to string words into phrases and sentences, which progresses into telling stories and answering questions in detail. And as they listen to stories, children develop vocabulary and understanding of syntax and grammar. All of these build a foundation for writing.
Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) is a core literacy resource aligned with the Indiana Academic Standards for English/Language Arts that empowers Indiana grades K–5 students. Developed in partnership with the Core Knowledge Foundation, Amplify CKLA was specifically designed to enable teachers to implement proven, evidence-based instructional practices.

mCLASS provides benchmark and progress-monitoring assessments for grades K–6. Its ecosystem of elementary reading resources works to target skill gaps and provide the right instruction at the right time.
mCLASS is powered by DIBELS 8th Edition, enabling you to automate scoring and receive instant targeted instructional recommendations. DIBELS 8th Edition measures:
mCLASS’s teacher-administered assessment provides you with valid and reliable data that allows you to make informed decisions on instruction. Our assessments follow a one-on-one observational model.
mCLASS provides benchmark assessments, ongoing progress monitoring, and voice recognition technology to comprehensively support each student’s literacy development.
mCLASS gives educators detailed insight into your students’ reading development across foundational literacy skills. It provides a wealth of valuable reporting information for everyone—from classroom teachers and literacy specialists to principals and district leaders and parents and guardians at home.
Included at no additional cost, mCLASS’s DIBELS 8th Edition measures are validated to provide information about dyslexia risk. mCLASS also offers supplemental measures to screen for risk related to dyslexia.
mCLASS provides targeted instruction in all the critical foundational reading skills by automatically analyzing data to place students in skill-based groups with targeted activities.
mCLASS connects to mCLASS Intervention, a proven companion intervention program that provides the analytical tools and resources educators need to make targeted, staff-led intervention a daily reality throughout the school year.

Amplify Science California is a brand-new TK–8 curriculum built for the California NGSS. It also happens to be the most adopted science curriculum so far—out of 17 state-approved programs to choose from. We feel pretty honored to be the science curriculum partner of choice for so many districts. Find out what makes our program so phenomenal by exploring this site at your own pace.
With Amplify Science California, students don’t just passively learn about science concepts. Instead, they take on the role of scientists and engineers to actively investigate and figure out real-world phenomena. They do this through a blend of cohesive and compelling storylines, hands-on investigations, collaborative discussions, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools.
Listen to these educators share how the program empowers students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists and engineers every day.
At the heart of Amplify Science California is our goal of helping students make the shift from learning about to figuring out scientific concepts. As they collect evidence, students actively work to construct a deeper and more complex understanding of each unit’s anchor phenomenon.
Throughout the Amplify Science California curriculum, students actively share and discuss evidence and work together to determine what claim the evidence supports. As they collaborate and engage in debate, they are practicing vital aspects of constructing explanations and argumentation, such as:
Amplify Science California isn’t a traditional textbook program. Rather, it’s a next-generation curriculum designed to support a shift to a whole new way of teaching science. If your district is interested in making a successful and lasting transition to the California NGSS, Amplify Science California is a program that you can choose with confidence.
Unlike other companies that retrofitted an existing program, we built Amplify Science California from the ground up. That means that every unit, every chapter, every lesson, and every activity was newly crafted to deliver true three-dimensional learning that works. Said another way, our program didn’t exist until after the California NGSS Framework was complete.
Amplify Science California was developed by the science education experts at UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and the digital learning team at Amplify. As the Hall’s first curriculum designed to address the California NGSS, Amplify Science California reflects state-of-the-art practices in science teaching and learning.
Grounded in research, proven effective, and classroom-tested—Amplify Science California was designed to work, and it does. Simply put: Students who use our science curriculum outperform their peers. That’s because our instructional design is rooted in UC Berkeley’s Do, Talk, Read, Write, Visualize approach, which has been backed by three gold-standard studies, efficacy research, and extensive field testing.
What’s more, learners who used this approach outperformed their English Learner peers in literacy skills and science content knowledge. Just check out the results to the left!
With our new Classroom Slides, you can put down the Teacher’s Guide and focus on what matters most—your students. These lesson-specific PowerPoints make delivering daily instruction a snap with embedded links to related resources and suggested teacher talk in the Notes section of each slide. Classroom Slides are now available for Grades K-5 and will be ready for Grades 6-8 for the 2020-2021 school year!
With more flexible implementation options at Grades 6-8, Amplify Science California suits every budget. Districts can now mix and match the following components to create their preferred student experience:
Amplify Science California helps your dollars stretch farther with more materials than any other program. Our K–5 kits support up to 36 students at a time, and include enough materials for a total of 72 student uses. Our 6–8 kits support up to 40 students at a time and include enough materials for a total of 200 student uses. What’s more, only 7 of the 27 units at this level require refills. For many California NGSS classrooms, that can equate to two years of use per grade level.
More materials also means more manageable and effective small-group instruction. Unlike other programs that require students to work in large groups of 8-9 students each, we give you enough materials to support up to 8 small groups of 4-5 students each.
Other publishers require you to wait for program updates until the next revision—even if it’s six years away. That’s not the case with Amplify Science California. We’re committed to supporting your continued success with the California NGSS for the duration of your adoption period, which includes making digital updates and platform enhancements available to you in real time through our platform.

Middle school students are learning to immerse themselves in text—and learning to articulate what resonates and matters to them in what they read. Boost Close Reading is an immersive supplemental reading program that engages students through an interactive graphic novel. With high-interest storytelling and guided instruction, the program motivates middle schoolers to question what they read, think critically, and build the close reading skills that will ensure success in high school and beyond.
Each student’s journey through this action-packed world depends on their ability to read literary and informational texts critically. Boost Close Reading develops a deep understanding of essential middle school skills—such as identifying the parts of a valid argument—that will prepare them for success in high school and in the broader world.
Every chapter provides integrated instruction, guided close reading, and a creative application. You set the difficulty level for each student. Assign English Learners and struggling readers to the Extra Support path. When they’re ready, switch them back to the Core Path.
Part of the mCLASS® Español suite, mCLASS Lectura is a universal screener for K–6 built on modern Spanish literacy research. It helps educators accelerate reading growth for Spanish-speaking students by delivering complete parity between English and Spanish reading assessments. Para la versión en español, haga clic aquí.
Spanish-speaking students have been underserved and misclassified for decades. By combining mCLASS Lectura and mCLASS® DIBELS® 8th Edition, you’ll be able to understand where your Spanish-speaking students are in their English and Spanish literacy paths.
Based on the science behind how students learn to read in English and Spanish, the mCLASS system allows teachers to connect with their Spanish-speaking students face-to-face, one-on-one, and in the language most comfortable to them. Teachers are able to pinpoint where their Spanish-speaking or emergent bilingual students really are in their literacy skill development and what instruction to prioritize.
The mCLASS® Lectura universal screener was co-developed with the Center on Teaching and Learning at the University of Oregon. The assessment was validated by Amplify in partnership with Dr. Lillian Durán of the University of Oregon.
The development of mCLASS Lectura also involved a team of nationally recognized experts representing a range of regions (Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean), along with focus groups featuring classroom teachers, special education teachers, specialists, and administrators.
Aligned to the Science of Reading, mCLASS Lectura allows teachers to connect with their students through observational assessment and in the language most comfortable to them. We built mCLASS Lectura so that when used in tandem with mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition, educators can achieve complete parity between English and Spanish literacy skills.
mCLASS Lectura is an authentic Spanish assessment that delivers complete parity when combined with mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition, including parallel reporting across English and Spanish assessments and unique dual-language reporting.
mCLASS Lectura provides teacher-administered assessments in Spanish that deliver accurate and reliable measurements of each student’s literacy progress.
mCLASS Lectura is a high-quality assessment that accounts for the major differences between English and Spanish, not simply a direct translation or transadaptation between the two languages.
By providing teachers with insights into the skill areas in which their students are proficient, in their native language, the program helps Spanish-speakers build on their strengths and make connections to their second language. Educators also receive guidance on the cross-linguistic transfer of critical skills in both languages.
Learn about the classroom inequities
Spanish-speaking students face and
how educators can address it.
mCLASS Lectura includes one-minute measures validated for universal and dyslexia screening, and provides dual language reports for teachers and administrators.
mCLASS Lectura is validated to assess for all key foundational skills for K–6, including:
mCLASS Lectura analyzes Spanish literacy and English literacy development side by side, enabling you to see where kids are in both languages. Learn more about mCLASS Lectura reporting.
With mCLASS Lectura, educators get hundreds of step-by-step instructional activities for small groups or individual students and receive effective activities to target the Spanish literacy skills with which students need the most support.
mCLASS Lectura provides reporting for everyone at all levels, from classroom teachers and literacy specialists to principals and district leaders, as well as parents and guardians at home. Learn more about mCLASS Lectura reporting.
mCLASS Lectura provides transcripts of every assessment and identifies error patterns to help educators make instructional decisions for students on the skills they need to work on the most. The program also includes letters with student assessment results and analysis to send home or to use as a basis for discussion at conferences.

We’re using critical components of
biliteracy learning to bring equity to
classrooms.
Boost Lectura’s Spanish literacy curriculum was developed in partnership with Spanish literacy experts and educators from several Spanish-speaking regions who contributed valuable perspectives for the creation of authentic and relevant content.
Students learning to read in Spanish deserve authentic, research-based instruction. Boost Lectura accomplishes this and complements Amplify’s comprehensive biliteracy assessment and curriculum programs. When used with Boost Reading, it’s the first personalized learning solution built on the Science of Reading for Spanish and English biliteracy development.
Boost Lectura focuses on the foundational skills that research indicates are not only critical for learning to read in Spanish, such as phonological awareness, letter-sound correspondences, decoding, and comprehension, but that are also transferable from Spanish to English. The program was built with expert guidance and research on how bilingual literacy (particularly Spanish and English biliteracy) develops.
Without having to be proficient in Spanish, teachers have access to an evidence-based Spanish literacy scope and sequence with learning content targeted to individual student needs. Boost Lectura can be leveraged in any literacy learning model.
Boost Lectura can be seamlessly paired with Boost Reading. When used together, the two programs build reading proficiency in both English and Spanish for students in grades K–2, as well as provide teachers with data insights on students’ skills progression in each language.
Boost Lectura integrates with Amplify’s full suite of biliteracy programs, including Amplify Caminos and mCLASS® Lectura. Through aligned instruction, these tools and materials provide educators with everything they need to screen, instruct, and provide practice in Spanish literacy.

mCLASS® Intervention is a staff-led reading intervention that does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson sequencing, freeing up teachers to teach the reading skills each student needs.
Getting students caught up on reading skills requires more than just “extra help” in small groups. It requires teaching that directly targets the specific skills each group needs to learn next. How does mCLASS Intervention help? It does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson generation.
K–2 students in mCLASS® Intervention grew by up to 8 student growth percentile points more in early literacy skills than similar peers not enrolled in mCLASS Intervention, according to a study by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
mCLASS® Intervention follows a research-based skills progression and uses software to analyze results, form small groups, build engaging lessons for each group, and update skill profiles and groups every 10 days.
Every 10 days, educators progress-monitor students on the skills they’re working to build. mCLASS Intervention analyzes these results, updates students’ placement on the learning progression, and identifies what they should focus on next.
Once each student’s profile is updated, mCLASS® Intervention analyzes the results of other students and arranges students by skill into small groups of 4–6.
Once groups are formed, mCLASS® Intervention determines the ideal focus for each group and automatically prepares two weeks of targeted lessons. See a sample here.
Staff then deliver the lessons to the small group of students—either with the interventionist coming into the room or the students going to a different room.
mCLASS Intervention covers the five big ideas of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The program comes with a mix of print and digital components to help you serve students.
mCLASS Intervention provides a bank of more than 4,000 research-backed activities, including multisensory activities that use auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic techniques.
The lesson builder automatically assembles activities into detailed lessons that target the skills each group is ready to learn.
mCLASS Intervention provides both print kit materials and a digital card app to help you streamline lesson preparation.
The practice app allows students to continue to improve their automaticity in decoding with engaging games.
Standardized diagnostic probes allow educators to closely monitor progress.
Analytical reporting allows educators to see each student’s progress throughout the year.
Embedded training modules and a pedagogical help desk get you started and maximize your students’ success.
Our literacy programs are designed to support and complement each other. Learn more about our related programs.

Improve outcomes with a program built on a decade of research, and that meets the strongest ESSA Tier I criteria.
As the original Science of Reading program, Amplify CKLA puts research into action with explicit, systematic foundational skills instruction and a proven knowledge-building sequence. In collaboration with education experts and practitioners, we provide powerful resources that deliver real results.
Amplify CKLA follows the Core Knowledge Sequence, a content-specific, cumulative, and coherent approach to knowledge building. This approach improves reading scores and closes achievement gaps by establishing a robust knowledge base that strengthens comprehension.
In Amplify CKLA 3rd Edition, we’ve enriched our Knowledge Sequence with a wider range of perspectives and high-quality texts in new and enhanced units.
Students progress from simple to complex skill development starting with phonological and phonemic awareness. Instruction in Grades K–2 explicitly teaches the 150 spellings for the 44 sounds of English, following an intentional progression to ensure student success.
In our 3rd Edition, we’ve added dedicated Grade 3 foundational skills instruction that can either support core lessons or function as an intervention, based on student needs.
Grounded in the Science of Writing—the research on how kids learn to write—instruction is explicit, daily, and woven into the curriculum’s rich content. It covers both transcription (handwriting and spelling) and composition (organizing ideas into narratives) with high-impact activities like sentence-level combining and expanding, and pre-writing exercises. Writing and reading instruction are integrated so students simultaneously strengthen their communication skills, comprehension, and confidence.
Amplify CKLA students are immersed in a variety of texts—complex read-alouds, decodable chapter books, trade books, and content-rich readers—that reflect varied experiences and connect to learning goals.
Readers are 100% decodable for Grades K–2, empowering students to directly apply what they’ve learned. Novel Study units for Grades 3–5 offer a mix of contemporary and classic literature, and Culminating Research Units in every grade include a set of authentic texts and trade books.
Scaffolds and challenges, developed in collaboration with education experts, make content available to every student—including multilingual and English learners. With strategies embedded right in the curriculum, teachers can deliver in-the-moment, individualized instruction to meet all student needs.
