Here’s what educators are saying about Amplify Caminos.

“My students absolutely love learning through Amplify Caminos, which is also teacher-friendly. The units spark their curiosity and give them so many opportunities to listen, discuss, and write about real-world topics.”

Millie Lawhon, Bilingual/Dual Language Educator

Pleasanton ISD, TX

“The writing has improved, especially in our multilingual learners, as has their communication during text-based discussions. [Students are] excited to read, learn, and connect knowledge from previous grades.”

Zuleica Rosario, Grades 4 & 5 Teacher

Passaic Schools, NJ

“One of my biggest goals is to get to know my students so I can create an environment that supports them. … Amplify has been one of my biggest allies. Biliteracy isn’t just teaching students to read and write, it’s giving them the opportunity to connect with their families, their culture, and the world around them.”

Dayana Orozco Rojas, Kindergarten Dual Language Teacher

Kannapolis City Schools, NC

“Everything made sense after I learned about the Science of Reading and Amplify came into my life. Amplify Caminos is the most effective curriculum I’ve used. Every activity aligns with the Science of Reading and has taken my teaching to another level.”

Eimy Galindo Medina, Grade 2 Dual Langauge Immersion Teacher

Our approach

Built for biliteracy success

Amplify Caminos isn’t just a translation of English instruction—it’s an authentic Spanish language arts program designed for Spanish literacy development. Flexible across transitional, dual language, and immersion programs, Amplify Caminos pairs with Amplify CKLA to deliver a complete, research-based K–5 biliteracy solution.

Rooted in biliteracy research

Guided by our core biliteracy principles, Amplify Caminos delivers instruction that’s structured, intentional, and aligned with how Spanish language learning develops:

Explicit, systematic skills instruction that supports decoding and fluency
A proven knowledge-building sequence that deepens comprehension
Resources and support created with educators and literacy experts

Amplify Caminos and Amplify CKLA support both language comprehension and word recognition from day one, starting with two-strand instruction in grades K–2 and moving to an integrated approach in grades 3–5.

Foundational skills built for Spanish

Reading fluency starts with a sounds-first approach—beginning with the most common vowels and consonants before moving to syllables and words. In grades K–2, Lectoescritura lessons develop decoding with 100% decodable readers. In grades 3–5, foundational skills are woven into content-rich lessons.

Knowledge that sticks

Topic-based instruction across science, social studies, literature, and the arts helps students develop the knowledge they need to understand complex texts. Amplify Caminos and Amplify CKLA follow the Core Knowledge Sequence with aligned (but not identical) topics for consistent Tier 1 instruction in both languages.

Stories that reflect and connect

From 100% decodable readers in grades K–2 to authentic poetry and novel studies in grades 3–5, each selection is either written in Spanish or transadapted to reflect students’ language, culture, and lived experiences.

Four illustrated children’s book covers in Spanish are arranged next to a cartoon boy holding a dinosaur card, all set against a white background with pink graphic shapes—perfect for introducing young readers to an engaging Elementary biliteracy curriculum.

Aligned, not identical

Amplify Caminos mirrors Amplify CKLA with intentional unit-level alignment and authentic Spanish content where it matters most. The result? A seamless biliteracy path that honors each language and promotes cross-linguistic transfer.

Reach every learner, every day

Built-in scaffolds, multilingual supports, and small-group guidance help teachers reach students who need more support—and those who are ready for a challenge. Amplify Caminos and Amplify CKLA make it easy to differentiate in the moment and keep every student growing.
