Paid access includes extra features such as webinars, on-demand professional development, integrations over to other websites, and skills assessments.
Upon registering, you can create classes and add students. You can also import classes and students with Google Classroom for easy integration.

The Digital Library and CommonLit 360 gives access to lessons about different units. Content can be filtered by content type (texts, text sets, themes, book pairings, units, or target lessons), grade level, Lexile Range, and genre. Content can be further filtered by themes, literary devices, standards, and even languages.
CommonLit is a great literacy website because it provides teachers with powerful resources that they could use to plan instruction. It makes it easy to supplement students with engaging lessons, as well as see students’ reading growth increase throughout the year.
