Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) is a language arts program that combines a multi-sensory approach to phonics with rich texts carefully sequenced to build content knowledge-– so that students learn to read and read to learn at the same time. CKLA is a comprehensive program for teaching reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Every day in first grade, students will complete one full lesson that builds foundational skills, as well as one full lesson that builds background knowledge. Foundational skills are phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, language skills (including conventions of English, spelling, and grammar), as well as reading comprehension and writing instruction. The knowledge lesson will build students’ vocabulary and knowledge across essential domains in literature, the world and American history, and sciences.
