Kayle is not really a great partner for passive champions like Kog and Ashe, generally speaking. Those two want to farm, they don't want to fight, because they have weak earlygames. But Kayle's strength as a 0 CS support, is to be aggressive and zone out the enemy. So you have a mismatch, here.

Your best bet as a support, is to mold yourself around the carry's playstyle. If the person you are with is very passive, put a point in Q (so you can peel with it), and max your heal first. You just want to keep people off the carry's nuts. This can be challenging depending on the lane, because Kayle's kit is not really amazing for this job, she's just adequate. Standard support build works here, just rush a Philo and build yourself some additional gold/10 items to buy wards with.

If your carry is aggressive, it's a bit easier. Kayle's DPS at low levels is pretty insane, and she is considerably tankier than standard supports. Compare her starting defenses to someone like Soraka. Kayle has 511 HP to her 446, and 20.5 Armor to her 11.2. Start with E + Q, and coordinate with the carry to light people up, you're very unlikely to lose trades. Kayle does 72 combined damage with Righteous Fury, Soraka throws out 52 AD bananas. The rest of your points depend on the lane... sometimes you can keep putting points into Q to make it a good nuke, sometimes you have to switch to maxing W for heals instead.

Mid to lategame itemization isn't that different, in both cases your salary is limited so you mostly want to focus on getting 40% CDR and aura items. Zeke's Herald is a very, very good choice if you have someone else on the team that can make use of lifesteal + AS. Shurelya's is OP. Etc.
