Newsela

Newsela is a website that provides nonfiction current event articles on various topics at a variety of reading levels.  Students can search the articles by keyword/category and then select their appropriate Lexile level if that is something they know.  Their MAP scores will give you a Lexile range for them.
Every article is available at a variety of different reading levels with the vocabulary and sentence structure increasing in difficulty as the Lexile increases.  There is also a corresponding quiz or writing prompt with each article.

Newsela syncs with Google Classroom so you can either import your Newsela into your Google Classrooms, or give your students a class code to use to join.

Once you have your students signed in to Newsela, you can assign an article.  Students should select their Lexile level (they can always play around with this and work with you to decide what their best fit is). 

Newsela will assign a writing prompt with each article.  Students then answer the prompt after they have read their article.  Teacher's can assign a grade and comment on students' responses.  Here is an example of a writing prompt:

Newsela has also grouped similar articles into text sets, or you can create your own text set for students to view.  Here are some examples of Newsela created text sets.

This would be a great site to use for current events, to practice writing, and for research.  The different Lexile levels allow for the same content to be covered while challenging your stronger readers and supporting your lower-level readers.
