What is Newsela?
Newsela is an online news platform that features high-interest articles, from a variety of sources and with a wide range of topics. Content is updated daily, with stories from a wide range of sources in English and also often in Spanish. All articles are available in five Lexile levels, ranging from around third to 12th grade. Each leveled text features a quiz tailored to that particular article plus a writing prompt that asks students to write and respond to what they've read.
The CSD pays for subscriptions for grades 6-12. This allows for options such as a dashboard to manage students' assignments and view both individual and class results, tracking progress toward meeting the related Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
