Network With Us
ReadWriteThink couldn't publish all of this great content without literacy experts to write and review for us. If you've got lessons plans, activities, or other ideas you'd like to contribute, we'd love to hear from you.
Standards
Every lesson plan on ReadWriteThink has been aligned not only to the IRA/NCTE Standards for the English Language Arts but to individual state standards and Common Core State Standards, when applicable.

Verizon Foundation and its Thinkfinity Content Partners are pleased to present the professional development series Going Mobile EdChat. In this series of online conversations, learn from and interact with experts around the topic of mobile learning. The week before each chat, we’ll post short videos from our panelists for you to view and reflect on prior to the scheduled Twitter chat. Then join us for #MobileEdChat on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. EST. Ask questions or share your experiences with using mobile learning to engage students. After each week’s chat, keep the conversation going in the Thinkfinity Community.
