Amplify ELA

We recognize the role educators play in improving literacy instruction and want to set you up for success with easy tools to implement in your classroom! Register for our Literacy Is Opportunity webinar series, which features major thought leaders and inspiring fellow educators discussing the shifts that will change outcomes for your students.

What is autoscoring?

Digitally submitted student writing is autoscored using the Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE). You can view student work in the Classwork app as well as AWE scores for Focus, Conventions, and Use of Evidence. Conventional errors are highlighted in the passage by activating the details toggle. These scores can be adjusted or overridden at your discretion, and we encourage you to leave comments and feedback when you input a score or grade for students to review!

What language support does Amplify ELA have for Spanish-speaking students?

Literacy Is Opportunity 

Why is now the right moment to start making a change in literacy instruction?

On March 27, Mitchell Brookins will discuss why we must get literacy instruction right, why we need to invest more in helping English learners, and why it’s so critical to have a research-backed literacy system in place.
