For librarians & teachers

Everything on ReadingList.school traces to a primary source — state ELA standards, Common Core Appendix B, AP/IB syllabi, and state reading-award programs. You’re welcome to use it with your students: print it, photocopy it, link to it, or embed it, free, under CC BY 4.0 (credit “ReadingList.school”).

1 · Printable checklists

Every state × grade list has a print-friendly twin at /printable/<state>/<grade> — a clean black-and-white checklist that photocopies well, with the source and URL in the footer. Find your list via your state or your grade, then use the “Print this list” link. Examples:

2 · Link to a list

Linking from a school, library, or PTA page needs no permission — deep links to a specific state + grade help families most. Copy a ready-made snippet (click to select):

HTML

<a href="https://readinglist.school/state/california/grade/3">California 3rd Grade Reading List — ReadingList.school</a>

Markdown

[California 3rd Grade Reading List — ReadingList.school](https://readinglist.school/state/california/grade/3)

Swap the URL for any list on the site — every page’s address is stable.

3 · Embed a live list

Paste one line into a class blog, library page, or newsletter CMS and the list stays current automatically — covers, reading levels, and a visible credit link back to the full list:

<iframe src="https://readinglist.school/embed/grade/3" width="100%" height="540" style="border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);border-radius:6px;max-width:640px" loading="lazy" title="3rd grade reading list — ReadingList.school"></iframe>

Works for any grade (/embed/grade/3), state (/embed/state/california), author, genre, theme, or curriculum list — the embed box on each list page generates the exact snippet for you.

Common questions

Can I print or photocopy ReadingList.school lists for my class or library?
Yes. Every list has a print-friendly checklist version, free to print and photocopy for classroom and library use under CC BY 4.0 — the printed footer already carries the credit.
Can I link to ReadingList.school from a school or library website?
Yes, please do — no permission needed. Link to any list page, or use the ready-made HTML/Markdown snippets on this page. Deep links to a specific state and grade are the most useful for families.
Can I embed a live reading list on our class or library page?
Yes. Every grade and state list has an iframe embed that updates automatically as the data is corrected and expanded. Paste the one-line snippet from any list page; the widget keeps a visible credit link.
