Honest, quick answers on cost, standards alignment, setup time, grade range, and the anchor books behind every CultureLit unit.
Three tiers, all pay-what-you-need: a free sample (one lesson from each grade band, $0/forever), individual lessons at $7.99, and full units at $28.99 — about $3 less than buying lessons piecemeal. School and district licensing is custom. See the full pricing tiers.
Yes — every lesson is built to Common Core ELA, with explicit skill instruction, vocabulary development, and comprehension questions that drop into your existing pacing. See the standards-aligned lesson structure in action on a Grades 6–8 sample.
Almost none — every lesson ships with full text (short story, excerpt, or picture-book source), a vocabulary worksheet, and an assessment already built. You print, you teach. Browse any sample unit on /units to see one in full.
