I truly prefer ChalkTalk to what our district uses for the regular school year. The students embrace the program and work AND I have seen better results as well.

How it works

Five components, one unified instructional approach.

Everything a teacher needs to support CLT verbal reasoning, grammar and writing, and quantitative reasoning without building a separate course.

Teacher-led lessons

Whole-group CLT-aligned materials teachers can present directly.

Small group activities

Group students automatically by performance or manually for discussion and collaborative practice.

Adaptive practice

Give every student a personalized practice path based on placement and ongoing performance.

Mock tests + strategies

Use practice exams modeled on CLT format and timing while building pacing, elimination, and format familiarity.

Reporting

See skill-level reports showing exactly where each student and class stand.

Built for existing pathways

Integrate CLT prep into existing course codes.

ChalkTalk can support CLT preparation within many states. Below are examples of some courses in Florida that we've integrated with For specific courses for your state, reach out to your local rep here.

MCLA

Mathematics for College Liberal Arts

Connect CLT quantitative reasoning to linear and exponential functions, geometry, probability, data analysis, logic, and set theory taught in MCLA.

IR3

Intensive Reading 3

Use CLT verbal reasoning, grammar, and writing practice to reinforce diagnostic, targeted reading support in Intensive Reading 3.

IR4

Intensive Reading 4

Extend reading intervention with CLT passages, comprehension, analysis, and English-conventions practice in Intensive Reading 4.

Two flexible models

Fits your schedule, your way.

Both CLT options include the same core materials. The difference is how much class time you give them.

Option A

Deeper Instruction

Accelerated, higher-impact results

Primary instruction: 3–5 days per week, 20–45 minutes per day
