Terrible. Does not prepare my students for their exams, and they hate it! I do not advise ANY teachers to use this god awful program.
Community Review for CommonLit
My Take
When I first discovered Commonlit I liked how easy it was to assign articles and the wide variety of options. But after a month of using it, my kids have shown no progress whatsoever. Their practice test averages have stayed the EXACT same. I am beyond disappointed and unimpressed. Not to mention I am unimpressed with Commonlit's lack of professionalism. ReadTheory gives me whole in-depth progress reports weekly while Commonlit doesn't even give me monthly progress reports. It also doesn't give an explanation when my kids get a question wrong, unlike ReadTheory which gives thorough paragraphs in explanation. I am completely done with Commonlit.
How I Use It
I assigned a few articles to my students for them to do on a lazy teaching week. I hoped to get them some necessary practice for the middle-of-year exams as they draw near. Their proficiency levels have not increased in the slightest, even though my kids have read 5 articles this week, one per day.
