We all know how difficult it can be to find text resources that all of the students in our classes will be able to read and comprehend because within our classes our student often have a very wide range of reading abilities. Wouldn't it be nice if you could hand out an article to all of your students, they read it, and then you can lead a discussion about it with the assurance that all students understood what they read?
With Newsela, that scenario can truly happen. Newsela has made itself an online resource of news and current events articles from (Real News) sites like the Washington Post and the Associated Press that have been adapted by the Newsela staff into five different reading levels. Newsela allows readers to pick the level they want and read the content that is the best fit for them.
