In their own words
LitCharts
LitCharts is a literature and poetry resource for students, teachers, and book-club readers, with guides, Shakespeare translations, literary-term material, and learning and teaching tools. Its guides put a bulleted plot outline beside analysis and use color-coded themes to make ideas easier to track through a work. Readers can look up quotes by chapter, theme, or character; A+ access adds explanations and citation details. A+ Teacher includes classroom materials such as close-reading organizers, prompts for essays and discussion, and comprehension checks. AI tools provide study answers and generators for discussion, essay, and quiz questions. Most website content is freely accessible, while guide PDFs, quote explanations, and Teacher Editions require a paid subscription. A free account costs nothing and supports title requests, new-title notifications, and saved highlights and notes. LitCharts A+ is $71.40 a year, and A+ Teacher is $95.40 a year. The service is available on web, Android, and iOS, and includes literature practice questions.
