Newsela

Newsela is an online news-as-literacy platform featuring current articles in seven categories: War & Peace, Science, Health, Kids, Money, Law, and Arts. It's updated daily with stories from a wide range of sources (from the Associated Press to Scientific American to the Washington Post) in both English and Spanish, and all articles are Common Core-aligned and available in five different Lexile levels, ranging (roughly) from third to 12th grade. Each leveled text features a quiz tailored to that particular article plus a writing prompt that asks kids to write and respond to what they've read.
