Welcome CKLA 1st Edition users!
Thank you for being part of the CKLA® family!
The Amplify CKLA 1st Edition experience is no longer supported as of January 1st, 2023. The 1st Edition has been a wonderful and essential part of our CKLA journey, but as we expand our program, we want to make sure we serve teachers with updated instruction that blends powerful content and a digital experience that meets the needs of all learners. On this page you will find more information about next steps, and resources we’d like to share with you as you prepare for this change.
FAQ
When did support for CKLA 1st Edition end?

CKLA 2nd Edition
As part of our commitment to creating even richer and more diverse curricula, we have built on the foundation of the 1st Edition to release a new edition of Amplify CKLA with a collection of program enhancements that can save you time and help you reach every student. Built on feedback from users all over the country, the CKLA 2nd Edition has a number of fantastic resources and tools, including:
- The Teacher Resource site, a website with digital versions of physical materials, digital components, and a full suite of planning documents to help keep you on course throughout Amplify CKLA, along with our Professional Learning site, which gives teachers and administrators access to free PD professional development modules, model lessons, and a wealth of resources to develop expertise.
- Our brand-new Knowledge Research Units that carry forward our powerful and proven instructional approach while also adding increased diversity, authentic literature, and instructional flexibility. With one unit per grade K–5, each is built around a trade book, and is supported with a Teacher Guide, Student Activity Books, Image Cards, and digital license.
- Redesigned Skills Readers for grades K–2 to increase representation of characters and illustrators, to better showcase the content, and to look more like trade books! Selected updates have also been made to texts.
- Novel Guides for grades 3–5, which provide 15 full days of instruction on contemporary trade books, as well as writing prompts that help students navigate the authentic literature they love.
- The Intervention Toolkit, which provides easy-to-use resources to assist teachers in filling gaps in students’ foundational skills. Teachers have access to hundreds of activities to support phonics, fluency, comprehension, handwriting, and other key skills.
- The Amplify CKLA Hub, a place where students can access digital resources independently from anywhere, taking full advantage of the instructional multimedia experiences that Amplify CKLA has to offer.
- For grades K–2, Knowledge Builder videos to introduce each domain, Sound Library videos and songs for each sound in the English language, and audio-enabled eBooks of grade-level Student Readers.
- For grades 3–5, access to the Vocab App for independent practice with domain vocabulary and audio-enabled eBooks in English and Spanish.
At an additional cost, you can experience additional CKLA offerings, including:
- A new K–5 digital experience that makes instruction more flexible for students and teachers in in-person, hybrid, and remote classrooms. Everything you need is in one place, making it easier and more engaging than ever to plan lessons, present digital content, and review student work.
- Writing Studio, which provides a full sequence of targeted writing activities that are tied both to writing standards and to the CKLA domains.
- Language Studio, an English language-development companion program to CKLA. Our carefully developed program follows the CKLA Knowledge Domains, previewing and reinforcing skills and content from core instruction using instruction specifically built for English Language Learners.
