Did you know???
There is a great, free resource for informational reading on current events at Newsela. Newsela is an innovative way for students to build reading comprehension with nonfiction that's always relevant: daily news. Newsela builds close reading and critical thinking skills. Give your students a new way to climb the staircase of nonfiction reading comprehension, from third grade to college-ready. Newsela automatically gives each student the version of an article that's just right for his or her reading ability, and an easier or harder version of each article is just a click away. Articles are accompanied by Common Core-aligned quizzes to provide quick and powerful feedback. You'll always know whether your students are on track and where they're falling short.
I am SO excited about this site. I love that you can choose the same article, but get multiple versions of it to meet the individual needs of your students. What a great tool for differentiation!
If you need help with this or any other media/technology, please let me know!
