Newsela is a unique site that provides current events article at different reading levels. Once you have signed in and navigated to the assigned article, there will be an option on the right side of the page to change the difficultly of the way in which the article is written. The great news is no matter which level you choose it still explains the same points and focuses on the same key ideas. It is up to the students to pick which level they feel most comfortable reading.
