How do I access the CommonLit 360 Curriculum?

To find the CommonLit 360 Curriculum, click the CommonLit 360 Curriculum tile on the Home page, or click on 360 Curriculum on the menu on the left.

Once you have clicked either of those, you'll be brought to the CommonLit 360 page. You will automatically land on the grade level page for the grade listed on your account. If you are listed as teaching multiple grades, you will land on the page for the lowest grade level.

To view units for a different grade level, click the grade level drop down at the top and select a different grade, and you will be taken to that Grade Level page.

Please note: When viewing the Grade Level page for 9th or 10th grade, you will also see the option to toggle between Edition 1.0 or the newly released Edition 2.0. CommonLit will remember the 360 edition you’re using, so you don’t have to switch back and forth.

To explore or access a specific unit, select the tile for that unit to navigate to the Unit page.

The Unit page includes key details about the unit at the top, such as the Unit Narrative, Essential Question, Culminating Task, Length, Edition (1.0 or 2.0), and the Focus Skills & Standards. Additionally, you will see the Professional Development module for that unit. The module for the first unit in a grade level is available to all users. Access to all Professional Development modules is available with CommonLit School Essentials subscriptions.

To view the lessons for the unit, scroll down. Each lesson has its own tile. This tile includes the assignment number, the type of lesson (e.g. Reading Lesson, Vocabulary Activity Set, etc.), and the estimated time to complete the lesson. Click the lesson tile to navigate to the Lesson page.

💡 Tip: To help you keep track of your progress in a unit, CommonLit will display "Most Recently Assigned" on the lesson tile in a unit where you have recently assigned a lesson. Additionally, you will also see "Most Recently Viewed" on a lesson tile for a lesson you viewed but did not assign.
