Newsela is an innovative way to build reading comprehension with nonfiction that’s always relevant: daily news. Newsela makes it easy for an entire class to read the same content, but at a level that’s just right for each student, keeps students engaged with Common Core aligned quizzes that test critical thinking and close reading, automatically assigns articles to students, sees who read the story, passed the quiz and took notes, all in a single screen, and leads students toward a deeper examination of content through interactive annotations and editable written-response questions. The teacher and administrator binder records students’ results, displays reading-level achievement in a crystal-clear, visual format, and shows results by specific Common Core standard.
