Background docs

Each Amplify ELA unit comes with a background document to foster engagement, aid with comprehension, and establish context before students begin to read. These documents provide an introduction to each upcoming text; key vocabulary; and background information about the time period, setting, or key concepts students will encounter in the unit. English and Spanish versions available.

Multi-language glossaries

Available in 11 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu, and Vietnamese.

The English-French Glossary aids students as they read passages with French vocabulary in Unit 6B: Mysteries & Investigations.

Text previews

Text previews, written at a lower Lexile level than the text, provide students with a preview of what they’re going to read and focus their attention on key ideas. English and Spanish versions available.

Differentiated Writing Prompts

Differentiated Writing Prompts support struggling students by providing segmented prompts with simplified language, guiding questions, and sentence starters.
