Newsela

What do you like best?

Everything! I like the paired sets and the multitude of options for assessment. I have used Newsela for years and will continue to do so. Great for all K-12 grades.

What do you dislike?

Nothing! They are always improving and I will continue to use them for instruction in my classroom. I like that I can assign my students work which they can complete on their own. Additionally, the stories can be read to them which helps build fluency!

Update: Not much for Kindergarten to be considered on grade level so would like to see improvement in this area.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I am able to assign relevant, high-interest readings to my students and assess them with rigor and standards-based question stems. I can use the same article and differentiate my lesson accordingly. I do like the variety of content as it provides both informational and fictional literature.
