Newsela.com









There has been a pretty significant push stemming from the Common Core Standards to include some form of reading in all content area.  No longer is reading proficiency only expected in English or ELA classes but also in science and math etc.  Luckily, we have Newsela.com as a great resource for grade appropriate and content specific articles.  And most articles are free!
Looking for an article relevant to math and appropriate for 8th grade?  Look no further – just click here!  Within a couple of clicks, teachers and learners can specify the content area as well as the Lexile level you need, and “Poof”, a number of articles that you can choose from are presented.  Another great thing about the site is that you can have everyone in your classroom read essentially the same article but at varying Lexile levels.  This way, all students get the same content but without the struggle.  Check it out!
