Built on the Science of Reading
Watching students mature into adolescents? Inspiring. Knowing how to engage and motivate their changing brains? Science.
The middle school years are marked by a period of tremendous growth and change—physically, emotionally, and socially. Amplify ELA understands and embraces these changes, and delivers instruction specifically designed to tap into adolescents’ natural inclinations toward collaboration, exploration, and autonomy.
Six levels of differentiation
We believe all students are capable of reading grade-level text together.
Amplify ELA ensures all students have access to the same text. With six distinct levels of differentiation, every student is supported or challenged in a way that meets their unique needs. This includes English language learners at the Developing, Expanding, and Bridging levels, as well as students needing substantial support or an extra challenge.
Assessment
Amplify ELA not only includes captivating content, but also provides clear and actionable measurement data about student performance.
Our embedded formative and summative assessment tools maximize teaching time, while allowing teachers to make confident, data-driven decisions about the instruction and supports students need to grow continually as readers and writers.
