I am a parent. What is CommonLit and the CommonLit Assessment Series?

CommonLit is a teacher-founded nonprofit that provides schools with high-quality instructional resources and assessments for grades 3-12. CommonLit.org offers thousands of engaging short stories, poems, and articles that teachers can use with students to build their love of reading and check their comprehension throughout the year.

CommonLit provides teachers with three grade-level benchmark assessments that students can complete throughout the school year. These assessments give teachers helpful information on how students are performing on key skills at their grade level and where they might need further support.

These assessments also provide information on how students are performing compared to their peers nationally.
