Newsela

Newsela Pro accounts are available to all teachers in Lynwood. Newsela has always offered a free account to all teachers, but the Pro version offers more features and access to primary source documents, speeches, biographies, and more.

Newsela is a collection of current event articles and more tailor-made for classroom use. The articles are student-friendly and can be accessed by reading level. Newsela writers rewrite a text four times for a total of five Lexile levels per text. Many texts have Common Core aligned quizzes that conform to the reading levels for checking comprehension. In addition, each article has a writing prompt which is also designed to assess reading comprehension.
