English shows and lessons that are aligned with Michigan educational standards.

Explore the World of Reading and Writing

The Michigan Learning Channel supports English Language Arts teachers and students from preschool to high school with free educational resources and videos. Find direct instruction of Michigan teaching standards, plus supplemental content like writing prompts, virtual field trips, and more.

Programs like Read, Write, ROAR!, Live from the Opera House, Story Pirates, and more have activity sheets that correspond to each video for students to complete as they watch, or as extra practice anytime.

All of our content is free to use for everyone. Educators use our videos in the classroom to introduce or reinforce topics, as plans for substitute teachers, and for students looking for extra practice in target areas. Families use lessons as an opportunity to learn together as a family, covering the same things as the classroom with the ability to pause and rewind for important points.
