 Free Reading Materials Built to Fit Your Curriculum At ReadWorks, we believe in the power of accessible education for all, which is why we offer completely FREE reading comprehension resources designed for educators and students. Our extensive library includes thousands of high-quality, research-based articles across a range of topics and grade levels, all developed to boost literacy skills and foster a love of reading. Many of our texts are accompanied by a suite of tools, including vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, and digital supports, making it easy for teachers to supplement their lessons with these resources. With ReadWorks, educators can seamlessly integrate reading practice into their curriculum, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive. Increasing Background Knowledge Empowers Students Whether it be learning new concepts in science class or diving into history topics, students who have more background knowledge are better equipped to think critically and connect concepts across subjects. Background knowledge acts as a foundation upon which new information can be built. With this foundation, students can better interpret texts, grasp complex concepts, and engage in higher-order thinking. This prior knowledge helps bridge gaps in understanding, making new material easier to digest. Background knowledge not only enhances reading comprehension but also empowers students to become more confident and independent learners. By adding more reading into your curriculum, you can continue to empower your students to dive deeper into the themes and topics covered in each lesson.  Example of the 1st grade alignment for Amplify CKLA New ReadWorks Curriculum Alignments ReadWorks is excited to announce our expanded curriculum alignment offerings! Our team is constantly on the lookout for more ways to seamlessly weave our resources into educator lesson plans. Along with our Amplify CKLA and NGSS alignments, we now have three new curated alignments for these curricula: Picture this: you're diving into a unit on "Cinderella Around the World" and need that perfect supplementary text to engage your students. ReadWorks has got your back! Our new alignments feature high-quality texts matched to your curriculum, building student background knowledge around those important and interesting topics. These passages are grouped by grade and unit, ready to be digitally assigned, printed, or projected to the whole class. Each text comes with an interactive vocabulary activity and comprehension questions, so your students can dive even deeper into what they’re already learning in the classroom.
