Research Summary

A literature review revealed two articles published by Amplify that highlighted efficacy studies the publisher conducted. The results of those studies showed that students using CKLA scored higher on standardized measures of reading, reading comprehension, decoding, phonemic awareness, and spelling than students not using CKLA. However, there were no peer-reviewed articles found and consequently, there is insufficient evidence to support this program's efficacy at this time.
