This website is very helpful for educators looking to select texts for lesson plans. The site takes users through a process to choose appropriate texts for their students. This process includes choosing a theme, discussion question, and grade level-band, and then selecting from a few targeted texts. The site also includes text-dependent and discussion questions, vocabulary definitions, paired texts, and teacher guides.
