Reader Lab

For curious readers who like a question more than an answer. Read something thoughtful, break a code, untangle a logic puzzle, then plan and write your own work.

An extra activities space for ages 10 to 14, separate from the book shelves. Free and untimed, with no accounts or personal details. Progress lasts for this visit; download your writing and plans if you want to keep them.

Writing and school help

From "what does this mean?" to handed in

Your plan stays only in this open page. No names or personal details needed, nothing is sent or shared, and it disappears if you close or reload. Download it before you leave.

Shorter steps, sentence starters and smaller goals.

1. Understand the assignment

  • Underline the instruction words: describe, explain, compare, persuade.
  • Write the task in your own words in one sentence.
  • Ask a teacher or grown-up about any word you are not sure of.

Reading shelf

Three starter picks

A small first shelf, not a full catalog. These free books also live in the Free Library under their usual age groups; here they come with questions for older readers. Read only.
