Newsela ELA aligns with state ELA standards, including Common Core, TEKS, and more. Our team tags every article, quiz, and lesson activity with the standards it supports. 

Administrators and teachers can use the reporting dashboards to see how students are progressing at the individual class, grade, school, or district level, ensuring that every learner is on track to meet grade-level expectations.

Our efficacy studies prove that students who read and take quizzes on Newsela ELA just twice a week gain up to four extra months of literacy growth compared to their peers who don’t use it.

Research from our ESSA Tier II and other validity studies also confirms that student performance on Newsela ELA correlates with NWEA MAP Growth scores, making it a proven tool for boosting reading comprehension and skills across your district.

Newsela ELA is built for differentiation! Our texts are available at five reading levels to make grade-level concepts accessible to all students. Teachers can also use features like audio support and annotations, plus  Guided Highlighting, in-article Checks for Understanding, and in-paragraph translations powered by Luna, your AI assistant. 

Vocabulary scaffolds, like our Power Words activities, and customizable graphic organizers help English learners and struggling readers engage more deeply with the content without compromising rigor.

Newsela ELA includes real-time reporting dashboards that let administrators and teachers monitor student progress at the individual, class, school, or district level. You can track assignment completion, quiz scores, and standards mastery.

Administrators can export reports for MTSS/RTI interventions and use data to guide professional development and curriculum decisions. These insights make it easy to see what’s working and where students need extra support.

Luna is your AI-powered assistant that helps teachers save time while still personalizing instruction. Luna can generate scaffolded lesson plans, customizable graphic organizers, power in-article translations, and fuel guided highlighting. Luna can even level any text on the web (even those from outside Newsela!).

Teachers can review and adjust Luna’s suggestions, allowing them to keep complete control of instruction while making lesson planning faster and smarter.
