Advice and answers

How can I differentiate using Amplify CKLA?

The sidebars of the Teacher Guides have differentiation suggestions for students who are above grade level (Challenge), need more scaffolding (Support), or English language learners (Access). Use them to customize lessons based on students' needs! For additional differentiation resources, use the Intervention Toolkit and Assessment and Remediation Guides on the Teacher Resource Site!

Need to give students more fluency practice?

You can find fluency packets on the CKLA Teacher Resource Site! In Grade 2, they can be found in the Intervention section within each Skills unit. In Grades 3–5, the fluency supplements are under the Daily Instruction tab's Intervention section. Take-home pages in the Activity Books and additional stories at the end of some Student Readers can be also used for extra fluency practice.

Calling all educators

Do you know an educator who deserves to be recognized? Share the educator’s name, district, and what they’re doing to stand out, so we can highlight them in a future newsletter and send them a special gift.

Are you receiving more than one newsletter?

If so, it’s because we have the pleasure of providing you with more than one Amplify program. Each month we’ll share the most important information you need to know based on the program(s) you use.
