Welcome to the Amplify CKLA (2nd Edition) Writing Hub!
Amplify CKLA’s approach to writing instruction is built on the dual premise of “learning to write and writing to learn.”
It encapsulates not only the technical aspects of writing but also
the creative and expressive side, all while deepening and reinforcing subject knowledge!
Discover all the amazing tools and content at your fingertips that will deepen your understanding of writing instruction and also spark your creativity for how to keep engaging your students this school year.
