"CommonLit is cohesive and saves time. The unit plan is already made for teachers, the pacing is done for them, the assessments are already made, and they’re all aligned. This enables teachers to focus on building their knowledge of content and pedagogy in order to be able to effectively improve instruction."

“I can say within a year and a half that we've seen a huge shift that we never thought possible with alignment within the ELA department, and we have seen performance skyrocket because of it.”

“The variety of texts that we’re able to read is a good mix. It’s highly relatable to our student population. When they’re working, it’s beautiful to watch. I love listening to them reading with each other and talking about texts and not worrying about what’s happening at home for those 80 minutes. 80 minutes is a long time, but the kids say, “wow, we only have 10 minutes left? So that’s good.”
