User disputes

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Site, providers of Third Party Services (as defined below) or any other third parties with whom you interact on, through or in connection with the Site.

Purchases

Company may make available products and services for purchase through the Site, and may use third-party suppliers and service providers to enable e-commerce functionality on the Site. You may only purchase products and services that appear on the Site and that are delivered to an address located in the United States. You may only purchase products and services for personal, non-commercial use by you, your educational institution or students of your educational institution. We may limit quantities or refuse any order for any reason or no reason, including if we have reasonable cause to believe an order is for onward sale or resale other than through distribution channels approved by us. We make no promise that products or services available on the Site are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States, and purchasing products or services for delivery to or use in territories where their contents are unlawful is prohibited. If you choose to purchase products or services from locations outside the United States, you do so at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any product or service made available through the Site.

If you wish to purchase any product or service made available through the Site, you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, your billing address and your shipping information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. By submitting such information, you grant to Company the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of transactions initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgement or completion of any transaction. While it is our practice to confirm orders by e-mail, the receipt of an e-mail order confirmation does not constitute our acceptance of an order or our confirmation of an offer to sell a product or service.

Details of the products and services available for purchase are set forth on the Site. All prices are displayed exclusive of all taxes and shipping/freight charges. Available payment methods, methods of shipping and shipping charges (including charges for expedited shipping, if available) are detailed on the Site. Company may also collect and remit sales tax on your purchase as required by United States law. If you are a tax-exempt entity, please enter the appropriate information where requested on your order form and we will not collect sales tax on your purchase.

Generally, credit and debit cards are not charged until we either ship the product(s) or confirm store availability (at which time you will be charged only for the products we have actually shipped along with any applicable taxes and shipping charges). However, we may pre-authorize your order amount with your credit or debit card issuer at the time you place the order, which may have an effect on your available credit line. When paying for a preorder with a debit card, you will be charged at the time you place your preorder. Please contact your credit or debit card issuer for more information. If you ordered a special delivery product, you will be charged once a delivery time is confirmed. For digitally delivered orders, your credit or debit card will be charged at the time that you initiate the download of the product.

All purchases made through the Site are made pursuant to a shipment contract. As a result, risk of loss and title for products purchased through the Site pass to you upon delivery of the products to the carrier. You are responsible for filing any claims with carriers for damaged and/or lost shipments. Please note that all shipping addresses must be compliant with the shipping restrictions contained on the Site.

Products, services and specifications

All products and services described or depicted on the Site, and all related features, content, specifications and prices, are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. Packaging may vary from that shown. We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of our products, including the applicable colors; however, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. The inclusion of any product or service on the Site at a particular time does not imply or warrant that such product or service will be available at any time. Occasionally, the manufacture or distribution of a certain product or service may be delayed for a number of reasons. In such event, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the delay and keep you informed of the revised delivery schedule. By placing an order, you represent that the products and services ordered will be used only in a lawful manner. All DVDs and similar products are sold for private, non-commercial home use (where no admission fee is charged), non-public performance, or classroom or instructional use only, and may not be duplicated.

Return and exchange policy

Unless otherwise specified in the terms associated with a particular product, you may return or exchange any product purchased through the Site within fourteen (14) days of receipt, by calling our customer service hotline, 1–800–823–1969, in the event that the purchased product is defective or you received the wrong product. Except for the foregoing, you may not return, cancel or exchange any product or service. Certain jurisdictions may provide additional statutory rights. Nothing herein is meant to limit your return or cancellation rights under local law. In the event that a return or exchange is due to an incorrect order or faulty product, we will be responsible for the shipping costs associated with such return. We will ship a replacement product upon receiving your defective or incorrect product and verifying the reason for the return or exchange.

Accuracy of information

We attempt to ensure that information on the Site is complete, accurate and current. Despite our efforts, the information on the Site may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. We make no representation as to the completeness, accuracy or currency of any information on the Site. For example, products or services included on the Site may be unavailable, may have different attributes than those listed, or may carry a different price than that stated on the Site. If an item’s correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Items in your “Shopping Bag” reflect the current price displayed on the item’s product detail page. Please note that this price may differ from the price displayed when the item was first placed in your Shopping Bag. In addition, we may make changes in information about price and availability without notice.

Chemicals, agricultural materials, and other hazardous materials

Certain products made available through the Site may include chemicals, agricultural materials or other material that may be subject to regulations or restrictions with respect to import or export, or to whom we may sell such material or where or how such material may be used. It is your responsibility to read and abide by all warning notices that accompany any products that you purchase. In addition, we reserve the right to request additional information from you, verify your identity, limit sales to certified educational or research institutions, or cancel or delay your order if required by law or if we believe it is necessary or advisable. Due to special shipping and handling requirements, freight companies routinely impose a surcharge on each package of hazardous material shipped. In such event, we will add such surcharge to your order.

Registration and account security

You may have the ability to create an account on or through the Site (an “Account”). If you submit registration information to create an Account, you represent and warrant that all information submitted to Company in connection with such registration is complete and accurate, and that you will update such information if it changes. If you create an Account, you are responsible for all use of your Account, and for maintaining the confidentiality of the information used to access your Account (including user name and password). You agree not to share your user name or password with anyone, or use anyone else’s Account at any time. You agree to notify Company immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of, or access to, your Account (including your user name and password). You acknowledge that the reuse of your password in connection with accounts on other websites increases the risk that the security of your Account may be compromised.

Third party links and services

The Site may make available, or third parties may provide, links to other websites, applications, resources, advertisements, Content or other products or services created, hosted or made available by third parties (“Third Party Services”), and such third party may use other third parties to provide portions of the Third Party Service to you, such as technology, development or payment services. When you access or use a Third Party Service, you are interacting with the applicable third party, not with Company, and you do so at your own risk. Company is not responsible for and makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the Third Party Services or the providers of such Third Party Services (including the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by such Third Party Service or the privacy practices of any third party). Inclusion of any Third Party Service or a link thereto on the Site does not imply approval or endorsement of such Third Party Service. Company is not responsible or liable for the content or practices of any Third Party Service or third party, even if such Third Party Service links to or is linked by the Site, and even if such Third Party Service is operated by an affiliate of Company or a company otherwise connected with us or the Site

¿Qué es Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura?

Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura es un programa integral de destrezas fundamentales para los grados K a 2 que ayuda a que los estudiantes adquieran seguridad y fluidez en la lectura.

Basado en la Ciencia de la Lectura, el programa ha sido desarrollado para respetar por completo las estructuras y matices del idioma español. En lugar de limitarse a traducir las reglas fonéticas del inglés, Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura ofrece una progresión culturalmente auténtica, basada en investigaciones y diseñada para encaminar a los estudiantes más jóvenes a alcanzar un éxito duradero como lectores.

Primeros pasos

Cómo apoyar a su estudiante en casa:

• Si es posible, lea con su estudiante a diario; incluso 15 minutos de lectura juntos cada día pueden generar un gran impacto.
• Lea secciones del texto en voz alta y de forma conjunta. Si su estudiante tiene dificultad para leer en voz alta, intente leer el texto con expresividad y después pídale a su estudiante que haga lo mismo.
• Busquen momentos para conversar sobre lo que están leyendo y descubriendo en clase. Por ejemplo, usted podría preguntarle:¿Qué te llamó más la atención de lo que leíste hoy? ¿Alguna frase o palabra te resultó confusa? ¿Qué conclusión puedes sacar del pasaje del autor? ¿Qué crees que intentaba comunicar el autor? ¿Estás de acuerdo con las ideas o descripciones del autor? ¿Qué conexiones puedes establecer entre lo que estás leyendo y tu propia vida u otros temas sobre los que hayas escuchado algo?
• Escuche a su estudiante leer las respuestas que haya escrito o pídale que las comparta con un amigo en una videollamada.
• Consulte el artículo Proteja a los niños en internet de la Comisión Federal de Comercio, cuyo tema es la seguridad digital.

What is Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura?

Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura is a comprehensive K–2 foundational skills program that empowers young learners to become confident, fluent readers.

Rooted in the Science of Reading, the program is built from the ground up to honor the authentic structures and nuances of the language. Rather than simply translating English phonics rules, Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura provides a culturally authentic, research-based progression designed to set early learners on the path to lifelong reading success.

Getting started

There are a few ways you can support the student in your care:

• If possible, read with them daily; even 15 minutes of reading together each day can create a huge impact.
• Read sections of the text aloud together. If your student struggles, you might try reading the text to them with expression, and then have them read it aloud back to you.
• Find moments to discuss what they are reading and discovering in class. Examples of questions you could ask: What stood out to you from what you read today? Were any sentences or words confusing? What was your takeaway from the author’s passage? What do you think the writer was trying to communicate? Do you agree with the writer’s ideas or descriptions? What connections can you make between what you are reading and your own life or other issues you’ve heard about?
• Listen to your student read their written responses or have them share with a friend over video chat.
• Review this Protecting Kids Online article by the Federal Trade Commission addressing digital safety.

Note: Shared student logins provide K–2 students using the Amplify Caminos Hub and students who aren’t yet enrolled by their school or district a way to access Amplify’s digital programs.

Materials overview

Some of Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura’s digital curriculum may be accessible to your student at home, if internet access is available. Contact your student’s teacher for login information.

Student Readers

Amplify Caminos is a Spanish Language Arts (SLA) program, so the student readers are in Spanish and align to the Spanish code that is taught in Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura. Those readers would only be available to teachers and students who are implementing Caminos Lectoescritura in their SLA or Dual Language classroom.

Student Readers are uniquely designed to provide students with intensive practice while they read simple but authentic stories.

Student Readers are chapter books designed for kindergarten to second grade students to practice the sounds and spelling patterns they’ve just learned, along with commonly used Spanish words. This helps them understand what they read while enjoying engaging stories with interesting characters.

Student Activity Books

As part of the daily lessons, these activity pages ask students to respond to the text they’ve read and apply skills and knowledge. They also include assessments (to which teachers have access) that track students’ skills development.

Caminos Hub for students

Students access multimedia resources and engage in a new digital experience on the Caminos Hub. They can access the Hub at home, in the classroom, and on the go, making it ideal for remote learning. It’s also compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and desktops—we’ve even optimized it for mobile devices.

Sonidos for Grades K–2

The Sonidos Library contains audio recordings of phonemes. Teachers can incorporate the Sonidos Library materials at any point into existing activities, at the start of skills lessons, or as a review to bring a sense of fun into the classroom.
The sounds in the library are organized by unit, and you can find the sounds for each unit by going through the tabs at the top of the screen. Each tab contains cards for each sound, on which you can play a recording of the sound by selecting the speaker icon.

Biblioteca

The Hub eReader is an easy way for kids to connect to the entire Caminos Lectoescritura library of readers. A simple table of contents makes it easy to navigate longer books. Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura e-books include the full set of Grade K–2 Student Readers.

Ensuring your child can log in independently

We recommend that caregivers assist their children by helping them log in at home. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step video on how to log in to the program with the login information or QR code provided by your child’s teacher.

Note that your child may log in via Clever or another platform. Reach out to your child’s teacher if you’re unsure or did not receive login information.

Watch the video below for an overview of how to get your elementary schooler started with Amplify Reading:

How to get your child started with Amplify Reading

Tips

• Practice logging in with your child consistently until they can log in independently.
• Keep your child’s login information in a single place so they know where to go if they forget it!

Giving your child the time and space to play independently

Amplify Reading is personalized to your child’s needs, so you do not need to assist students with their learning. Once your child can log in, they’re ready to start using the program. Students will need headphones or to be in a quiet place when they play.

Some students will begin with a placement Quest. Their answers help the Amplify Reading program match them to the best content and games for their reading skill levels. To ensure the most accurate placement, it is important that your child complete each activity independently. If your child needs help understanding the instructions, you can refer to this instruction guide. And it is always helpful to encourage your child to have fun and do their best!

We recommend reviewing this Protecting Kids Online article by the Federal Trade Commission addressing digital safety.

Frequently asked questions for caregivers

¿Qué es mCLASS Math?

mCLASS Math es un sistema de evaluación digital que ofrece a los maestros una visión clara de cómo conciben los estudiantes los conceptos matemáticos principales de su nivel escolar. También ayuda a identificar lo que su estudiante ya sabe y en qué aspectos podría necesitar más apoyo. Lo anterior permite que los maestros puedan personalizar la enseñanza y ayudar al desarrollo del aprendizaje de cada estudiante. Las evaluaciones de mCLASS Math son completamente digitales y permiten que los estudiantes demuestren su razonamiento mediante preguntas abiertas. De esa manera, los maestros obtienen una visión inmediata del progreso de los estudiantes y de sus necesidades educativas. Para obtener más información sobre la experiencia del estudiante, haga clic aquí.

Obtenga más información sobre mCLASS Math.

Primeros pasos

¿Por qué es importante evaluar?

Con las evaluaciones de mCLASS Math, los maestros comprenden no solo lo que los estudiantes ya conocen, sino también cómo piensan. Esto les permite apoyar mejor su desarrollo del aprendizaje.

Más allá de respuestas correctas o incorrectas, mCLASS Math captura cómo resuelven problemas los estudiantes, destacando sus fortalezas, experiencias, razonamientos y estrategias individuales (o “assets” (ventajas), como los llamamos colectivamente), y utilizándolos para orientar el proceso de enseñanza. Con esta información, los maestros pueden personalizar el aprendizaje, reconocer las fortalezas de los estudiantes y fomentar un crecimiento significativo.

Obtenga más información sobre la evaluación basada en “assets”.

Formas de apoyar a su estudiante

Junto a su estudiante, obtenga una vista previa de los ítems de muestra en casa.

Exploren los ítems de muestra de mCLASS Math juntos para que su estudiante se sienta más cómodo y familiarizado con la experiencia de evaluación. Estos ejemplos muestran los tipos de preguntas que su estudiante podría ver y cómo va a interactuar con la plataforma.

Mientras revisan los ítems juntos, anime a su estudiante a explicar su razonamiento. Intente hacer preguntas tales como:

• “¿Qué te piden que resuelvas?”
• “¿Cómo puedes demostrar tu pensamiento?”
• “¿Puedes explicar tu respuesta?”

Si su estudiante no consigue avanzar, ayúdele con preguntas como:

• “¿Qué sabes hasta ahora?”
• “¿Cómo podrías representar este problema usando objetos o dibujos?”

Recuerde al estudiante que bloquearse es normal y una parte necesaria del proceso de aprendizaje. Muchos estudiantes (y personas adultas) temen cometer errores, pero las investigaciones demuestran que cometerlos ayuda a que nuestro cerebro se desarrolle. Desarrollar la confianza en el uso de las matemáticas comienza con la práctica en un espacio de apoyo donde el estudiante se sienta seguro.

Apoye a diario el proceso de aprendizaje matemático con Fluency Practice.

Ayude a su estudiante a fortalecer las habilidades matemáticas básicas (suma, resta, multiplicación y división) con solo 5 a 10 minutos diarios de Fluency Practice (Práctica de la fluidez). Fluency Practice utiliza un método de aprendizaje probado llamado repetición espaciada, con el fin de aumentar la precisión, velocidad y confianza en el uso de operaciones y datos matemáticos.

Para obtener una introducción a Fluency Practice haga clic aquí.

Otras ideas para apoyar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas

• Siempre que sea posible, destaque el uso que haga su estudiante de las matemáticas en el mundo real y promueva esta práctica.
• Ayude con la tarea de matemáticas tanto como sea posible.
• Utilice frases intencionales y positivas sobre las matemáticas, incluyendo el uso que su estudiante haga de ellas.

Próximamente: Actividades matemáticas asistidas por cuidadores

Para el aprendizaje en casa, mCLASS ofrece una serie de recursos matemáticos que las familias pueden usar trabajando juntas, incluyendo actividades matemáticas asistidas por los cuidadores para ayudar a reforzar y practicar destrezas en casa.

What is mCLASS Math?

mCLASS Math is a digital assessment system that gives teachers a clear picture of how students are thinking about major grade-level math concepts. It helps identify what your child knows and where they might need more support, so teachers can personalize instruction and help every student grow. mCLASS Math assessments are entirely digital and allow students to show how they think through open-ended questions. Teachers then gain immediate insight into student progress and instructional needs. You can learn more about the student experience here.

Learn more about mCLASS Math.

Getting started

Why is assessment important?

With mCLASS Math assessments, teachers understand not just what students know, but also how they think. This lets teachers better support students’ growth.

Going beyond right or wrong answers, mCLASS Math captures how students solve problems by highlighting their individual strengths, experiences, understandings, and strategies (or assets, as we collectively refer to them) and using them to inform instruction. With these insights, teachers can personalize learning, celebrate student strengths, and support meaningful growth.

Learn more about asset-based assessment.

Ways to support your child

Preview sample items at home with your child.

Explore mCLASS Math sample items together to help your child feel more comfortable and familiar with the assessment experience. These examples show the types of questions your child may see and how they’ll interact with the platform.

As you review the items together, encourage your child to explain their thinking. Try prompts like:

• “What are they asking you to solve?”
• “How can you show your thinking?”
• “Can you explain your answer?”

If your child feels stuck, guide them with questions such as:

• “What do you know so far?”
• “How could you represent this problem using objects or drawings?”

Remind your child that getting stuck is normal and a necessary part of the learning process. Many children (and adults) fear making mistakes, but research shows that making mistakes helps your brain grow. Building math confidence starts with practicing in a safe, supportive space.

Support math growth with daily Fluency Practice.

Help your child strengthen core math skills—in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—with just 5–10 minutes of daily fluency activities. Fluency Practice uses a proven learning method called spaced repetition to boost accuracy, speed, and confidence with math facts and operations.

Get started with Fluency Practice here.

Other ideas to support math learning

• Use and point out your child’s use of math in the real world wherever possible.
• Help with math homework as much as possible.
• Use intentional, positive phrasing about math—including about your child’s own use of it.

Coming soon: Caregiver-assisted math activities

For at-home learning, mCLASS offers a number of math resources families can use together, including caregiver-assisted math activities to help reinforce and practice skills at home.

What is Amplify CKLA?

Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) is a language arts program for Grades PreK-5 that combines a multi-sensory approach to phonics with rich texts carefully sequenced to build content knowledge—so that students learn to read and read to learn at the same time. 

Every day in Grades PreK–2, students complete one full lesson that builds foundational reading skills, as well as one full lesson that builds background knowledge. In Grades 3–5, students start to master the skills of reading, further opening up their worlds.

CKLA in Action

There’s no better way to understand the power of Amplify CKLA than seeing it in action. Watch Ms. Lehman’s second graders in the video below as they learn how to decode and spell words with the long /ā/ sound.

Unit Overviews

Below are quick overviews of the units your student will be working through in their grade throughout the year. Next to each unit are downloadable guides which provide a more in-depth look at the content covered and how you can help your student advance their understanding of the topics.

Materials overview

Amplify CKLA is a blended program, which means your student will be interacting with both print and digital materials.

Print materials

Student Readers

These readers are uniquely designed to provide intensive practice while reading simple but authentic stories. All readers are also available as ebooks and audiobooks on the teacher resource site, which caregivers can now access.

In grades K-2, these readers are chapter books that allow students to practice just-learned sound-spellings within an authentic reading experience that incorporates compelling plots and interesting characters.

In grades 3-5, readers develop close reading and other literacy skills through a selection of diverse, content-rich literary and informational texts.

Student Activity Books

Part of the daily lessons, these activity pages ask students to respond to the text they’ve read and apply skills and knowledge. They also include assessments that track students’ skills development, to which teachers have access.

Digital materials

CKLA Hub for grades K–5

We are excited to announce that students will be able to access multimedia resources and engage in a new digital experience on the CKLA Hub. Unlike ever before, students can access digital resources independently from anywhere, taking full advantage of the instructional multimedia experiences that Amplify CKLA has to offer. Students can access the Hub at home, in the classroom, and on the go, making it ideal for remote learning. It’s compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and desktops—we’ve also optimized it for mobile devices.

Knowledge Builder videos for grades K–2

Each Knowledge Domain starts with a Knowledge Builder video: a short, fun, animated story that enriches the lesson and motivates students with new characters, places, and concepts.

Recorded daily read-alouds for grades K–2

Teachers and students will have access to video recordings of all K–2 Knowledge Read-Alouds with pictures from the Flip Books.

Sound Library for grades K-2

The Sound Library uses audio sounds, catchy songs, and animated articulation videos to help students learn and master sounds.

Foundational Skills Boost for grades 1–3

Designed for grades 1–3, these video-based, self-guided lessons target critical foundational skills from the previous year’s instruction in order to fill in any gaps. They offer approximately nine weeks of instruction organized as daily lessons, with additional teacher-led small-group activities and family resources.

Vocab App for grades 3-5

The Vocabulary App is designed for independent practice with vocabulary. Students can use the Vocabulary App for game-like activities that challenge them.

Quests for grades 3–5

Each of the grade levels in 3–5 contains a Core Quest. In these special units, all the normal rules of the classroom change, and students engage with language in surprising new ways. For example, in grade 5, they learn to love the dense Shakespearian language of A Midsummer Night’s Dream through imagery, close reading, and performance.

Support your child at home

Read and talk at home

• If possible, read with your child daily; even 15 minutes of reading together each day can make a huge impact. 
• You can read sections of the text aloud together. If your child struggles, you might try reading the text to them with expression, and then have them read it aloud back to you. 
• For additional practice, watch the recorded read-alouds with your K-2 student or have your grade 3-5 student use the Vocabulary App. 
• Find moments to discuss what they are reading and discovering. Examples of questions you could ask: What stood out to you from what you read today? Were any sentences or words confusing? What was most surprising? What do you think the writer was trying to communicate? Do you agree with the writer’s ideas or descriptions? What connections can you make between what you are reading and your own life or other issues?
• Listen to your child read their written responses or have them share with a friend over video chat. 
• We recommend reviewing this Protecting Kids Online article by the Federal Trade Commission addressing digital safety.

Skills practice at home

What do students learn?

Amplify CKLA is an evidence-based program built on research about how students learn to read. This collection of research is often referred to as the Science of Reading or The Simple View of Reading. It tells us that:

• Students learn to read best when they are taught foundational reading skills (like phonics) and comprehension skills (like vocabulary and background knowledge) at the same time. That’s why Amplify includes a combination of skills and concepts in every unit.
• The more students know about a particular topic, the better they are able to comprehend what they read. That’s why Amplify CKLA incorporates rich stories, texts, and articles about a variety of topics throughout the program.

Because students learn so much with Amplify CKLA, it can be hard to review it all at once. To make it easier for you to review the program, we’ve provided links to a variety of resources below, including unit overviews and text lists by grade.
