Close gaps with the only digital intervention for Amplify CKLA and mCLASS classrooms.
Boost Reading is a K–5 digital intervention program that connects directly to your existing tools. It automatically turns your mCLASS® DIBELS® 8th Edition data into action and reinforces your Amplify Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) lessons with adaptive instruction. It meets students exactly where they are and fits into any part of the school day, giving you clear insights with no extra work.
Move more students toward benchmark
Amplify CKLA students who start the year at below-benchmark reading levels are 34% more likely to meet benchmark by the end of year when using Boost Reading.
Across grades K–5, at-risk students using Boost Reading are 36% more likely to reach benchmark by the end of year.
Multilingual/English learners (ML/ELs) who start the year at risk are 43% more likely to finish the year on track after using Boost Reading than their peers who did not use Boost Reading.

Differentiated support at every turn
Boost Reading supports your Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework by providing differentiated skill development for every learner, keeping student growth in constant motion from assessment to practice.
Tier 1: Reinforce Amplify CKLA lessons with adaptive enrichment and grade-level practice that keeps students engaged and on track.
Tier 2: Deliver independent remediation for students navigating core concept challenges, so you can stay focused on your small groups.
Tier 3: Keep student growth moving between small-group sessions with practice that reinforces your mCLASS instruction.
A digital companion built to follow your lead
Experience a connected literacy suite where your assessment, core instruction, and intervention work together. Boost Reading is the only program designed to follow the same scope and sequence as your Amplify CKLA lessons, all aligned to the Science of Reading and all powered by your mCLASS DIBELS 8th Edition data.
Amplify CKLA: Your lessons, reinforced
Boost Reading provides the adaptive independent practice students need to thrive in your core lessons. Amplify CKLA students who start the year at below-benchmark reading levels are 34% more likely to meet benchmark by the end of year when using Boost Reading.
Built for the way students learn
Student growth accelerates when adaptive practice reinforces your core instruction. Boost Reading is anchored in the same Science of Reading sequence as Amplify CKLA, introducing critical skills in the same order research dictates.
Deeper mastery of core skills
Boost Reading ensures that students on every path are building the mechanics of reading independently while your class stays on track with Amplify CKLA lessons. Explore the sections below to see how Boost Reading provides targeted practice that supports instruction.
Help students build strong foundational blending skills.
The quest Gem & Nye provides targeted practice with phonological awareness. Students work alongside friendly sound bots to listen to individuals sounds and blend them together to identify words.
For Amplify CKLA students
Boost Reading follows the same sequence as Amplify CKLA. Both are grounded in the Science of Reading to reinforce classroom blending techniques, such as arm blending. The program’s differentiation offers students reading below grade level the support they need to engage with grade-level content.
Strengthen decoding and syllable skills.
In Curioso Crossing, students engage in systematic practice by identifying and decoding multi-syllable patterns. Each level brings the decoding speed and accuracy needed for comprehension.
For Amplify CKLA students
Boost Reading provides repeated exposure to the sound-spelling patterns found on your Amplify CKLA Power Bar cards, reinforcing advanced decoding skills. This repeated practice helps students gain the confidence needed to independently access complex CKLA texts.
Develop rich mental models for deeper comprehension.
Picture This puts students in the director’s chair, guiding them as they read complex passages and select visual elements that bring the story to life. By physically building the scene with characters, settings, and plot details, students develop the mental modeling skills that power strong reading comprehension.
For Amplify CKLA students
Story analysis is central to your classroom readers. Boost Reading supports readers who are struggling with text through adaptive practice with the same “Who, What, and Why” thinking they use in core lessons. As they progress through their personalized path, they strengthen comprehension skills at their own pace.
Strengthen the language skills that bring stories to life.
Idiomatica takes students on an adventure through common idioms and expressions. Students explore the difference between literal and figurative meanings, building the language awareness they need to interpret complex texts.
For Amplify CKLA students
Literacy instruction in Grades 3+ focuses on authors’ use of figurative language and descriptive details. Boost Reading complements this skill with practice to ensure students internalize descriptive language, enabling them to work through more rigorous texts.
Turn your data into immediate intervention and remediation.
When your tools speak the same language, student growth is easy to follow. Boost Reading uses your mCLASS data, ensuring every student is on the fastest path to reading success.
Trust your data to deliver the right skills.
Boost Reading turns your teacher-administered mCLASS assessment data into targeted learning paths, making enrichment and remediation a direct extension of your observations. Every lesson is grounded in what students need.
See how Boost Reading turns mCLASS data into action.
Boost Reading picks up where mCLASS leaves off, providing focused practice for skills that have been flagged. Explore the module below to see how Boost Reading translates assessment scores into targeted practice for each student needing support.
Meet Alice, who is currently navigating her beginning-of-year reading assessments. Her mCLASS data flags a specific need for Phoneme Segmentation (PSF) support, pinpointing where she needs a little extra help to stay on track.
Alice can expect to dive into targeted practice quests like All Aboard! during her independent learning time. Here, she will learn to isolate and hear the specific sounds that make up a word—building her confidence and skills before she even begins to read.
Meet Aiden, who has already mastered letter names but is still working on putting those sounds together. His mCLASS data flags a need for Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) and Phoneme Segmentation (PSF) support, showing exactly where he needs a bridge to decoding.
Aiden can expect to dive into targeted practice quests like Picky Goblins during his independent time. This playful, focused practice helps him find his footing with letter sounds and blending, ultimately helping those individual sounds click into whole words.
Meet DeAndre, who is progressing well with isolated letter sounds and word decoding, but encounters a challenge when it’s time to read full sentences. While his foundational skills are solid, his mCLASS data flags a need for Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) support, showing he’s ready to practice reading text smoothly.
DeAndre can expect to dive into quests like Story Lab during his independent learning time to practice bridging the gap between individual words and a full story. By tracking and reading along with connected text at his own pace, he can build the rhythm and expression needed to make reading feel more like a natural conversation.
Meet Ernesto, who reads with great speed and accuracy, hitting benchmark milestones on his oral reading assessments. However, when it comes to deep text comprehension, his mCLASS Maze data flags a need for extra support, showing he’s ready to focus on how sentences build meaning.
Ernesto can expect to dive into quests like Unmask That during his independent time. This focused practice helps him master how sentences connect by teaching him to track details like pronouns, ensuring he catches the full meaning of every paragraph.
