oral language skills that underlie
and parallel reading and writing
skills.

What Does It Mean to Build
Knowledge Systematically?
“Building knowledge systematically in English language arts
is like giving children various pieces of a puzzle in each
grade that, over time, will form one big picture. At a
curricular or instructional level, texts—within and across
grade levels—need to be selected around topics or themes
that systematically develop the knowledge base of
students.”

What We Know
• Knowledge builds on knowledge
• All of our most desirable goals for education are
all knowledge dependent:
Creativity
Problem solving
Reading comprehension
General achievement
• Knowing things allows us to expend the smallest
amount of cognitive capacity on processing lowerorder aspects of a problem so that more
cognitive capacity is available for higher levels

What We Know
• Most vocabulary is learned implicitly.
• Word learning is most efficient when the reader
(listener) already understands the context well.
• Tiny gains on a dozen words is more efficient
than large gains on just one word at a time.
• What makes vocabulary valuable and important
is not the words themselves so much as the
understandings they afford.

What is the Significance of 270?
• 26 Letters
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
• 52 Total with Upper- and Lowercase
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
• 16 Distinctly Different Uppercase
ABDEFGHIJKLMNQRT
• 44 sounds
26 consonant, 18 vowel
• 150 spellings
/ie/ = ie | i_e | igh | y | ye | y_e
• Directionality & Punctuation . ? , !

What We Know
• Early Systematic Instruction in phonics seems to
lead to better achievement in reading than later,
less systematic instruction
• Unless decoding is automatic, there is little
cognitive capacity to think about meaning.
• Reliable decoding is more efficient than context
cues.
• Specific objectives, rather than broad goals,
should inform both practice and assessment
• Practice leads to automaticity
©2013 Core Knowledge Foundation.
www.coreknowledge.org
DESIGN PRINCIPLE
CKLA teaches children the distinction
between sounds and spellings using
the most frequent or least ambiguous
sounds first.

language skills (blending & segmenting)
that underlie and parallel reading and
writing skills.
