Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) and ELA is the literacy curriculum which will be implemented in all of our Grades K-8 classes in the 2023-2024 school year. The Amplify curriculum is based on decades of research about how students' brains learn how to read. Therefore, in Grades K-2 the CKLA curriculum combines a multi-sensory approach to phonics with rich, complex texts carefully sequenced to build content knowledge—so that students learn to read and read to learn at the same time.

The image below highlights the two strands of the 'reading rope', which represents the framework and research behind which the Amplify curriculum was designed. Simply put, the Amplify curriculum is 'what' we teach, while the reading rope and the framework behind it are 'how' we teach students to read.
