OASD K-5 Literacy Curriculum Review and Adoption Process
Beginning in Winter/Spring 2024
OASD Commitment to Early Literacy
The Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) is committed to fundamentally evolving our approach to early literacy and equipping all students with the foundational skills they need to be successful readers, writers, and learners.
New K-5 Literacy Curriculum for 2025-2026
To support this goal, the OASD will adopt a new K-5 literacy curriculum for the 2025-2026 school year. As part of this process, we are field testing Amplify CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) during the 2024-2025 school year at select grade levels across all elementary schools. This field test will help us evaluate how well CKLA meets our students' needs and provide insights to guide our final curriculum decision.
The Role of the OASD Literacy Committee
The OASD Literacy Committee, formed in the 2023-2024 school year, has reviewed a variety of curricula, gathered feedback from educators, and made recommendations that have shaped the field test.

Video Spotlights: See CKLA in Action
Throughout the school year, we will add video spotlights to this page to give families, community members, and staff a closer look at how CKLA is impacting student learning. These videos will highlight the ways in which the curriculum is supporting student engagement and achievement.
Check it out! OASD Summer LIFT Literacy Intervention Program
In July 2024, the Oshkosh Area School District (OASD) launched the Summer LIFT literacy intervention program, designed to provide targeted support to elementary and early middle school students. This program focuses on helping students strengthen their literacy skills during the summer months, ensuring they are better prepared for the upcoming school year.
