As we teach the significant work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, it is essential to provide resources that support all learners. CommonLit, a free digital tool, offers a variety of inclusive instructional materials to commemorate his important contributions to society. It includes the following embedded scaffolded supports:
- read aloud (text to speech) features
- ability to adjust the font size,
- side-by-side translation into thirty-three additional languages
- ability to highlight and/or add annotations,
- guided reading mode with additional supports to help readers better understand the text
- paired texts to provide background information, build knowledge and provide context
- embedded definitions of more difficult vocabulary
- related media resources
The short video below demonstrates several of the features.
There are texts supporting all content areas for working with learners in grades three through twelve. I highly recommend CommonLit to add to your inclusive instructional materials toolkit.
