Built on the Science of Reading

Amplify CKLA makes it second nature to teach the Ohio standards.

Amplify CKLA helps Akron implement the new standards by translating the Science of Reading into strong instructional resources, so that you can focus on your students and the kind of teaching you love.

How it works

Amplify CKLA teaches both halves of Scarborough's Reading Rope: Word Recognition (such as foundational skills) and Language Comprehension (such as background knowledge) in Grades K–2, then combines them in Grades 3–5.

Bring the world to Akron students

Amplify CKLA builds knowledge coherently across subjects and grades.

Students build grade-appropriate subject-area knowledge and vocabulary in history, science, literature, and the arts while learning to read, write, and think creatively and for themselves.

Students make connections day by day and year to year
