Product Details

Overview
Literacy Curriculum Reading & Writing Grades 3–12

CommonLit is a nonprofit digital literacy platform offering a full curriculum and supplemental library. It is intended primarily for upper-elementary through high-school readers, including multilingual learners and students needing differentiated access, with ELA teachers, students, literacy specialists, and curriculum leaders using it to support grade-level reading, knowledge building, text evidence, vocabulary, discussion, and writing.

Teachers use text sets, units, paired texts, questions, discussion, writing, assessment, and accessibility supports for whole-class or targeted instruction. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.
