"Civic literacy should not start when we turn 18. It should start now."
Get your students ready for the upcoming NC Primary while teaching them valuable reading skills with Newsela. If you've never checked out this awesome resource, you need to! Newsela teaches students to read non-fiction news articles critically. Every article is available in 5 different lexile levels.
Newsela is partnering with Rock the Vote to get students interested in the election. And it's not just for ELA. There are curriculum connections for almost every core and encore subject. Not sure how to connect it? I'm here to help!
