Integrating Amplify CKLA into Montessori Environments Toolkit

Everything you need to systematically integrate the Amplify CKLA curriculum, while maintaining Montessori pedagogy.

"The impact of these resources has been remarkable! This toolkit, scope and sequence and resource repository - all in one - seamlessly integrates the principles of Montessori philosophy with the systematic and explicit instruction of the Amplify CKLA curriculum, ensuring that our students receive tailored instruction that meets their individual needs. The thoughtfully created resources support the skills introduced in Amplify CKLA, allowing teachers to have a clear guide for facilitating student learning.

Literacy is a matter of social justice, and Montessori Collective's resources not only enhance our students' literacy achievement, but are also immediately usable in the classroom. I highly recommend this toolkit for any educator looking to empower their students and foster a love for reading and learning. Montessori Collective has truly thought of everything!"

Has your state adopted Amplify CKLA as an approved Science of Reading curriculum?

Montessori schools around the country are struggling with the tension of implementing state-adopted literacy curriculum within our Montessori environments. Amplify CKLA has been adopted by many states as an approved curriculum. While the content in the curriculum is essential, it is not presented in alignment with Montessori philosophy.

We have a solution!
We have developed tools and resources to support Montessori teachers in implementing the content in Amplify CKLA through Montessori pedagogy.

"The Integrating CKLA into Montessori Environments resources have been transformative for Montessori del Mundo, seamlessly blending structured literacy instruction with Montessori's hands-on, child-centered approach. These resources have enhanced student engagement and supported bilingual learners' academic growth, empowering teachers to deliver rigorous, meaningful lessons in both English and Spanish."
