Are you using Amplify CKLA Novel Guides in your classroom?
For grades 3–5, Amplify CKLA Novel Guides offer opportunities for students to develop ELA skills. The guides may be used for an entire class, or they may be assigned to individuals or groups of students. Use them for enrichment or extension during dedicated classroom reading time and/or after-school or summer programs!

What is the Amplify CKLA ReadWorks collaboration?
ReadWorks articles support the CKLA Knowledge Sequence in deepening students’ content knowledge and developing rich vocabulary. The articles are designed for flexible use, including independently, in small groups, or in whole-group instruction. ReadWorks is included on the Teacher Resource site, and you can set up your account directly with ReadWorks and roster students on your own.
