Newsela launched in 2013 with a bold mission: Meaningful classroom learning for every student. Today, our team constantly strives to deliver powerful solutions that inspire our users.
Connect real-world STEM learning with reading and writing
Use Newsela STEM and Newsela Writing to find relevant science and math content,
support students as they read, build engaging STEM lessons, and turn learning
into evidence-based writing.
Inside the Guide
From STEM content discovery to real-world application
1
Set up classes and find STEM content
Follow login and class setup steps, then explore differentiated texts,
Generation Genius videos, PhET simulations, Tuva datasets, curriculum
complements, current events, and career-focused collections.
2
Customize reading, activities, and writing
Choose text complexity, scaffolds, quizzes, graphic organizers, and other
activities, then pair a STEM article with a Newsela Writing prompt, rubric,
and optional AI feedback; Newsela Writing requires a separate license.
3
Build STEM lessons around authentic questions
See strategies for independent, small-group, and whole-class instruction,
along with a full-period wave-properties lesson and a unit example connecting
climate, ocean currents, real-world phenomena, skills, and careers.
4
Use reports to guide next steps
Review reading levels, active time, STEM disciplines, content use, rubric
proficiency, sentence-checklist completion, and revision patterns to plan
differentiated instruction and targeted support.
