Welcome to EduTips, a side project of the Cult of Pedagogy podcast where I share one quick idea to make your teaching better.

This is Jennifer Gonzalez and I am your host.

This EduTip is sponsored by Common Lit.

Over 1 million teachers already depend on Common Lit's free literacy program.

Here's how it works.

You go to commonlit.org and create a completely free account.

Then you get immediate access to over 3,000 amazing reading lessons for grades 3 through 12.

This includes not just news articles, but short stories and poems from contemporary authors like Amy Tan,

Sandra Cisneros, Tupac Shakur and Walter Dean Myers.

Each lesson can be printed off or shared with students digitally.

Differenciation is easy.

Students can listen to stories, translate them, and take digital annotations as they read.

Teachers also have the option to assign standards aligned questions.

After students are done, teachers can quickly and easily track student progress.

So go to commonlit.org that's cmomolt.org and set up a completely free account today.

We're certain you'll love it.
