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.
