Built for use both inside and outside the classroom.

Intended to be used in conjunction with reading a novel, KeyLit Literature Companions offer students another way to examine and appreciate great works of literature. Because the program is based entirely online, students can work both in the classroom and remotely, giving you flexibility to integrate KeyLit to fit your needs.

Dive deeper into the text’s meaning.

Using a variety of question types, students will reinforce understanding, improve comprehension, and develop skills in understanding characterization, theme, and other literary elements. Each question is associated with at least one anchor standard.

Evaluate students’ core understanding of the text.

Each KeyLit Literature Companion includes an objective summative assessment at the end of the unit. This assessment asks questions that cover reading comprehension and other skills developed during the unit, including making inferences, analyzing characters, and interpreting textual evidence.
