Get inspired by the experiences of teachers and administrators who’ve seen the impact of our program.

“CommonLit is a fairly economical resource. That’s not why we chose it – we chose it because we thought it was the best resource. But it’s definitely a benefit, so that it does allow us to use our funds elsewhere.”
Barbi Chisholm
Director of Middle School Core Curriculum
Indian Prairie School District 204, IL
"The texts and the tasks within the curriculum are rigorous, and our students so far have really risen to the challenge. That’s been the feedback that we’ve gotten from students – some of them are doing things they did not know that they were capable of doing.”
Barbi Chisholm
Director of Middle School Core Curriculum
Indian Prairie School District 204, IL
"There are embedded assessments within, so that our teachers can respond if students are struggling with these specific skills, I have a measurable data point that now I have a direction to go in. Everything is aligned to state standards. It just makes the teachers’ job more straightforward and allows them to really focus on what their individual students need within the lesson."
