CommonLit has recently released a new feature called text sets. Each text set contains 5-20 individuals lesson resources that share a common topic or historical period. This feature is available for free. Like all of the materials on CommonLit’s free website, the texts themselves can be assigned to classes or individual students through the platform. Students answer a set of text-dependent questions online and teachers access data analytics on student progress. Each text also comes with a discussion guide, recommended paired passages, related media, and a parent guide. Schools with limited technology can download a printable version of the resources.
Another exciting new feature from CommonLit is Guided Reading Mode , designed specifically to help struggling readers make meaning of difficult text. Watch the video below to learn more about this new feature.
