Free ELA Resources
This collection brings together free ELA resources for 6th grade, 7th grade, and 8th grade classrooms — no strings attached. Every resource is designed to give you a genuine look at what Light Up Literature™ curriculum delivers before you invest in a full product.
You'll find free samples from across the curriculum, including nonfiction reading comprehension passages, vocabulary practice, and standards-aligned ELA activities built for real middle school readers. Each freebie is complete enough to use in your classroom right away — not a teaser page or a preview clip.
These resources work for bell ringers, sub plans, independent practice, and small group instruction. Download what fits your current unit and see how it works with your students before committing to the full series.
New freebies are added as the curriculum grows. If something here works well in your classroom, the full-length versions are one click away — and always no-prep and answer-key included.
