Newsela tutorial
Learn how to use Newsela. Newsela integrates directly with Google Classroom. Newsela has an enormous archive of highly engaging articles you can assign for students to read online. The best part about Newsela is the fact that each article is available at multiple Lexile levels, and once the program learns a student's level, it will push articles out to them at their just right reading level.
