This week I am going to be talking about the wonderful website that is, Newsela. I just recently have gotten introduced to this amazing website, and I am addicted! Newsela is an innovative way to build reading comprehension with nonfiction that is always relevant: daily news. It is easy and amazing! With Newsela, you can read any article with any kind of reading level grades 3-12. As for being the teacher controlling Newsela in a classroom you can even assign different reading to your class, and have it customized to each students reading level. At the end of reading their article, as the teacher you can assign a writing prompt or a quiz to check for student understanding. As the teacher, you can even track student progress, which is very helpful! You could use Newsela for subjects, such as the obvious, language arts, but also you can find articles on science, social studies, and the arts. All while incorporating technology! Newsela can definitely deepen student learning. Not only is the information they will be reading relevant to them, but also they can read it on a level that they will understand.
