Built on the Science of Reading
Watching students learn to read: magic. Knowing how they get there: science.
What does the Science of Reading really mean? What does it tell us about how to teach? How can we bring those insights and practices into our classrooms (remote or otherwise)? We believe CKLA has the answers.
Supports Orton-Gillingham and LETRS
CKLA brings the instructional principles recommended by Orton-Gillingham and LETRS to life in the classroom.
- Structured–Concepts are taught through consistent routines
- Sequential–Concepts are taught in a logical, well-planned sequence
- Systematic–Phonemes are taught from simplest to most complex
- Explicit–Decoding and encoding concepts are taught directly and explicitly
- Multi-sensory–Instruction is delivered through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways
- Cumulative–Concepts are applied in decodable, connected text with constant review and reinforcement

Access and equity
We believe we have a responsibility to provide literacy instruction that gives every student the same opportunity to succeed and excel.
We know that early reading affects achievement throughout school and beyond—well into college and career. Yet most literacy programs continue to fall short of supporting early literacy success. That’s why we’re so proud that CKLA is helping close the reading gap between students within diverse communities.
The missing piece
CKLA is aligned with programs you already know and use—mCLASSⓇ and Boost Reading—making the integration between systems, your implementation, and ongoing instructional planning more efficient, effective, and easy for your teachers.
