Where can I find the answers for CommonLit 360 lessons?

Reading Lessons

The answers to the During-Reading questions of a Reading Lesson (Turn and Talk, Think and Share, Write, and Find Evidence), can be found on the Teacher Copy of the lesson. To access the Teacher Copy, navigate to the Lessons page for the unit of your choosing. Then click on Show More for the Reading Lesson you want to access and click the Preview or Assign button. 

At the top right corner of the reading lesson, you will see a link titled Download Materials. Once you click that link, select Teacher Copy from the drop down menu.

The Teacher Copy does not include the answers for Independent Practice questions. To view the answers for these questions, click Answer Key in the top right corner of the lesson preview. Please note, answers are only visible to users with confirmed educator accounts.
