Newsela is an instruction Content Platform that enhances learning and reading engagement in every subject. This website was developed as an educative online platform which focuses on building reading comprehension by students. The real-time assessments and high quality websites provided by Newsela for students ranging from grades 2-12 spans a wide variety of content. Some of the content provided include law, money, science, health, opinion, sports, and arts. Newsela is a well organized and useful online platform used by many educators. The website was once free but now charges around $18.00 per student.
This online platform provides very high interest yet low vocabulary access for English language learners and learning disability students to track achievements while also providing a higher level option for students who perform higher. This is also a great tool in which enables differentiation in a classroom while allowing the same content with different levels for classroom discussions. While exploring the website, students are provided with new and innovative materials that help them solve the problem of having to find articles on the internet. I highly recommend this website as it allows an entire class to access the same material at the adaptive level of each student. This is especially beneficial because each student will gain some level of comprehension and will not be discouraged by their reading abilities.
