From the Newsela website:
* Newsela builds close reading and critical thinking skills. Give students a new way to climb the staircase of nonfiction reading comprehension, from fourth grade to college-ready.
*Newsela automatically gives each student the version of an article that's just right for his or her reading ability. And an easier or harder version of each article is just a click away.
*Articles are accompanied by Common Core-aligned quizzes to provide quick and powerful feedback. You'll always know whether your students are on track and where they're falling short.
*We know teachers' time is precious. Newsela makes it easy to assign articles, review student quizzes and track Common Core mastery.
