A Great way to Incorporate Nonfiction Text into the Classroom

I like that NewsELA provides up to date, current event news in a format that works for kids. The website is arranged in such a way that it is easy to find what you are looking for whether it be latest news, good news or surprising news. You can also search by topics if you are looking for something specific. It gives you the opportunity to create assignments for your students that include the lexile (reading level) as well as a writing activity and a quiz. I really like that articles include a variety of lexile levels so that you can best meet the needs of each student in your class. Differentiation is huge so the ability to quickly switch between reading levels is invaluable. Finally, many of the features are free.

Great source for news and paired texts

I love how NewsELA has paired lessons that go along with the reading. The majority of the articles are unbiased. My students love engaging on NewsELA. There are so many articles that make it easy to pick something tat my students would be interested in that also fits their reading level and the curriculum that I am teaching. It doesn't get any easier. Just today I was on NewsELA finding articles that go along with the election. I love it!

News ELA in the Classroom

The non-fiction topics are current and interesting. The fiction is age appropriate.
