Where can I access all of the new texts for ELA?

Why so many updates?
That’s a great question. One of our core values is to listen, learn, and adapt, which means continuously improving our materials to meet the needs of today’s students and teachers.
These updates reflect the latest instructional research and direct feedback from our partners and users. We made each change thoughtfully and intentionally to better serve classrooms.
Will there be many more updates like this?
That’s another good question! We don’t anticipate changes of this scale again soon, but we’ll keep refining based on research and your feedback.
I like the old versions of the units. Will those still be available on the Fishtank site?
Old versions of the units will no longer be accessible. If you wish to refer to an older version of the unit, you should download the full unit PDF files ahead of the revised unit releases.
We’re Building This Together
These updates exist because of your feedback. The surveys you complete, the questions you ask, the challenges you share—they shape what we build next.
