Welcome, California educators!

Thank you for taking the time to review Amplify’s complete early literacy system for TK–6.

Our curriculum, assessment, practice, and intervention solutions work in tandem to ensure classroom teachers have what they need to provide multi-tiered literacy support to every student.

Complete literacy system

Strong core instruction is crucial–but in isolation, even that’s not enough. A truly effective literacy system needs to bring together assessment, core instruction, personalized practice, targeted intervention, and ongoing professional development.

Together with leading experts in reading instruction, Amplify has built a proven early literacy system grounded in the latest reading research and designed to ensure every student receives the multi-tiered support they need to grow as a reader. Our partners include:

  • The University of Oregon
  • Core Knowledge Foundation
  • Recognized language, literacy, and biliteracy experts such as Dr. Lillian Durán, Dr. Desiree Pallais, Dr. Catherine Snow, and others.

California-approved Reading Difficulties Risk Screener (RDRS) screener 


Amplify provides the only California-approved dual-language Reading Difficulties Risk Screener (RDRS) screener. By bringing together data from mCLASS® DIBELS® 8th Edition (K–5) and mCLASS® Lectura (K–6), educators can gain a complete view of a student’s linguistic repertoire. This insight allows teachers to leverage strengths in one language to support growth in both while identifying the level of support each student needs across the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework.

Core instruction

Core instruction should include explicit, systematic lessons in foundational skills and a coherent approach to building background knowledge, developing vocabulary, and reading complex text with confidence.

With Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts® (CKLA) California and Amplify Caminos California, all students have the opportunity to become strong readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers. Through a powerful combination of proven, evidence-based practices and engaging, interactive content, these core curricula enable students to develop a deep mastery of foundational skills as well as a robust knowledge base–both of which are necessary for accessing and comprehending complex texts.

Personalized practice

Student needs are multidimensional, which is precisely why practice must be personalized and provide opportunities for remediation and acceleration across multiple dimensions.

Through its integration with mCLASS and Amplify CKLA California, Boost Reading’s adaptive personalized pathway makes practice more purposeful and productive. mCLASS automatically places students on an adaptive path within Boost Reading, which provides them the exact practice they need. That very practice follows the same approach and scope and sequence as Amplify CKLA, which further reinforces the core instruction.

Targeted intervention

Getting students caught up on reading skills requires more than just “extra help” in small groups. It requires data-informed instruction focused directly on the specific skills each group needs to learn next.

mCLASS® Intervention is a staff-led reading intervention that does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson sequencing, freeing up teachers to teach the reading skills each student needs. mCLASS Intervention connects directly to mCLASS data, automatically groups students with similar needs, follows a research-based skills progression, includes ready-to-teach engaging lessons, and updates skill profiles and groups every ten days.
