ReadWriteThink
ReadWriteThink is a free resource site for reading, writing, and language-arts instruction from kindergarten through grade 12. It serves educators, parents, and afterschool professionals with lesson plans, student interactives, printouts, calendar activities, and a teaching mat. Resources cover reading, writing, language arts, poetry, media literacy, literature, and assessment, with grade groupings from kindergarten through grades 11–12. Collections combine classroom materials with professional learning resources, including instructional strategy guides and a library listing NCTE books and journals. Lesson plans align with IRA/NCTE English Language Arts standards and, where applicable, state and Common Core standards. Interactive tools include Comic Creator, Timeline, Trading Card Creator, and Webbing Tool. The site says downloaded mobile apps work on tablets offline, and updated interactives should run on computers, tablets, phones, and other devices. No login is required, and the site says it does not save user information or created work on its servers.
