Provide Background Details and Rationale:

Newsela is an online adaptive resource of reading materials for grade 6-12. The resource adjusts to a student's reading level. Articles and stories can be used to supplement any content area but are mainly used for reading, writing, and social studies. Newsela helps with improving motivation, learning strategies, engagement, vocabulary, and comprehension outcomes for students. Newsela unites high-interest content at multiple reading levels with accompanying assessments and reading activities that share insights designed for teachers and learners. Each article in Newsela has an associated quiz with questions aligned to standards, thereby assuring district administrators that the content is appropriate while also saving teachers valuable time in finding instructional content.
