Pearson Reading Street
Pearson is a great resource for ELA. While it does not directly connect into Canvas. There are several options that will allow you to create a home base in Canvas that will allow you to redirect your students without needing to leave Canvas.
Add a link to your Side Bar
You can create a link in your sidebar to allow students to visit Pearson without leaving Canvas. This ensures that they know how to access the site with as few of clicks as possible.

Take Home Readers / Reading Logs
Take Home Readers or Class Library can be a huge pain to manage. Canvas provides a solution that allows you to digitize your library to allow students to have access and a one-stop shop for reading.
