K–5 Materials
Grades K–2: Dedicated knowledge building and authentic Spanish skills instruction
Every day in Grades K–2, students complete one full lesson that builds foundational reading skills in Amplify Caminos Lectoescritura (Skills), as well as one full lesson that builds background knowledge in Amplify Caminos Conocimiento (Knowledge). By working in each of these instructional strands, students develop the skills necessary to help them become confident readers and build the context to understand what they’re reading.
Grades 3–5: Integrated instruction
Knowledge and Skills are integrated in one set of instructional materials. Lessons begin to combine Spanish language skills and knowledge with increasingly complex original Spanish texts, close reading, and a greater writing emphasis. Students can then use their skills to go on their own independent reading adventures.

Our K–2 decodable chapter books feature relevant characters and gorgeous illustrations that honor students’ diverse backgrounds within the reading experience.
Strong skills foundation
The skills instruction in Amplify Caminos was distinctly developed with the Spanish language in mind. Its foundational lessons are specific to the language, rather than a direct translation from Amplify CKLA’s English skills instruction.
Amplify CKLA and Caminos, the perfect dual language partners!
Amplify CKLA is a comprehensive elementary English literacy curriculum, grounded in the Science of Reading.
While foundational skills instruction in Amplify Caminos was built to address the unique needs of learning the Spanish language, Amplify Caminos and Amplify CKLA cover the same knowledge building content with transadapted texts. This alignment allows for streamlined and paritable instruction across both languages that is suitable for any dual language implementation model.
