Newsela (www.newsela.com) is an award winning online literary resource that offers lexile leveled
articles, questions, writing prompts, data and tracking. One of the major
features is that the website can automatically adjust every article in the existing
library between five different lexile levels ranging from 3rd grade
to 12th grade. So each student can read the same content but at their level. Each
article also has writing prompts and a quiz. Teachers with free account are
limited to the current events genre and cannot access the data from the tests
and quizzes but students are able to get feedback and use it to improve their
scores.
Teachers with paid accounts have access to the data for their students
as well as the entire Newsela library which includes articles on money, arts,
kids, sports, science, health and other categories. One of the features that
interests me is that you can sink your account to your Google Classroom. So I
can easily create and post assignments for all my classes right from the
Newsela site.
