Welcome, teachers of Amplify CKLA, Florida Edition!
Amplify CKLA and ReadWorks have partnered to deliver high-quality texts aligned to both the Amplify CKLA Knowledge Sequence and the Florida content topics in Social Studies, Science, and the Arts. These texts are accompanied by vocabulary supports and formative assessment opportunities aligned to the Florida B.E.S.T. standards. You may monitor your students’ progress using the ReadWorks reporting features.
These articles have been aligned to specific lessons within your Amplify CKLA, Florida Edition curriculum. Your Teacher Guides contain an icon with each article title in the sidebar of specific lessons. We suggest teaching each article in conjunction with that lesson, as the articles are strategically curated to support the Amplify CKLA Knowledge Sequence and to extend students’ learning within specific knowledge domains.
The following Scope and Sequence contains each aligned article, organized by content area and topic, for ease of use. These articles are designed for flexible use, including independently, in small groups, or in whole group instruction as desired. Students who are ready for more challenge will benefit from reading additional selections from the ReadWorks library, which features thousands of knowledge-rich articles on topics across content areas.
