CommonLit: This resource assists with reading comprehension and problem solving skills. Read a passage and answer the comprehension questions following the passage. There are many passages, both fiction and non-fiction found on this site.
NewsELA: Similar to CommonLit, this resource provides passages and questions regarding content and higher order concepts found in the passage. However, NewsELA allows to change the readability of a passage based on Lexile level (the reading difficulty of a passage based on vocabulary found in the text).
