Newsela is an online news-as-literacy platform that features high-interest articles on everything from current events to myths and legends and from literature to science. There is a free account (which just features news and current events) or paid subscriptions that include daily news story updates and subject-specific products for ELA, social studies, science, and SEL. Sources range from the Associated Press to Scientific American to the Washington Post in English and also often in Spanish. Topics run from pop culture to roller derby and Minecraft, and they touch on subjects that encourage cross-curricular reading, such as DNA testing, global women's rights, living conditions in Syria, and travel to Mars. All articles are available in five 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 students to write and respond to what they've read. Learn more or create an account here.
