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!
