Knowledge fuels comprehension.

The Science of Reading reveals knowledge as an essential pillar of reading comprehension, and even lifelong literacy. That’s why leading scientists say knowledge building must be incorporated into reading instruction from the beginning—and continued throughout every subsequent grade level.

The more you know, the faster you learn.

That’s the message of the Knowledge Matters Campaign, and it’s the foundation of Amplify CKLA and Amplify ELA. Both content-rich literacy programs systematically braid knowledge building with skills instruction, creating a curriculum that enables all students to build reading comprehension and confidence alike.
