Educator Voices and Leadership

Conor P.

High School ELA and Journalism

“I often use Newsela as a warm-up activity for my students to get them into the right mindset to begin class. It helps me expose my students to news that we may not otherwise cover in class."

Meghan S.

Middle School Social Studies

“Honestly, middle school students are never overly excited about reading articles. Newsela is by far their favorite. The fact that students can [self-differentiate reading] to suit their needs is a major factor of why they prefer it."

Jayna D.

10th-12th Grade CTE Marketing

“I use Newsela's business-focused readings and quizzes to [build] the same skills students need for Michigan's ELA assessments, but they're practiced through real-world business and workforce content."
