Amplify CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts)

Amplify CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) is a comprehensive curriculum that integrates science, history, literature, and the arts with a research-based approach to building literacy skills. It ensures young readers develop strong reading abilities while gaining essential knowledge for future learning. By combining content-rich texts with structured instruction, CKLA helps students make connections across subjects, enhancing both literacy and cognitive development.

CKLA emphasizes the importance of knowledge in supporting reading comprehension. Instead of isolating reading from content, it immerses students in diverse subjects, fostering curiosity and intellectual engagement. The carefully selected books cover a wide range of genres and topics, offering students exposure to high-quality content that promotes both language skills and academic understanding.

The curriculum is designed to progressively challenge students with increasingly complex texts, helping them expand vocabulary, make inferences, and connect information. This approach builds reading fluency and encourages a lifelong love of learning. Ultimately, CKLA aims to develop skilled readers who are knowledgeable and well-rounded individuals.
