Welcome, teachers of Amplify CKLA!
Amplify CKLA and ReadWorks have partnered to deliver high-quality texts aligned to the Amplify CKLA Knowledge Sequence. These texts are accompanied by vocabulary supports and formative assessment opportunities. You may monitor your students’ progress using the ReadWorks reporting features.
These articles have been aligned to specific lessons within your Amplify CKLA curriculum. 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.
Below you will find each aligned article, organized by domain or unit, 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.
