Breaking News: Differentiated Reading for Your Classroom
Newsela is a website that has a library of articles that you can assign to students. Any article can be changed to a variety of reading levels so that you can meet the needs who read at lower or high levels in the same class. Many of the articles also come with a comprehension quiz. Since the district pays for the PRO version, login using the Google button and district account. Their Educator's guide shows you how to do cool stuff like syncing your Google Classroom roster with Newsela so you can assign and track student progress.
