This tool differentiates Lexile reading levels, yet students are still able to read the same article. Students are able to apply their critical thinking skills by answering quiz questions and connecting with the real-world events in the story.

An obstacle teachers may face is finding the time for students to use Newsela. Teachers have many different things to manage in class with limited time. Especially when students are behind, it takes a while to catch them up, and finding free time to use Newsela can be difficult. A possible solution is offering Newsela as an exit ticket or offering it as homework if students have access to technology and the internet.

With the repeated practice and studying that students do, they are able to master the content and feel confident for the real test. If students still have challenges, they can take a practice test. These practice tests are great because they also check for spelling. The more students practice, the more familiar they become with vocabulary words, reading fluency, and comprehension.

If the majority of students answer the question wrong, teachers are able to plan their next lesson and work on what they need extra support with.

Having each question read out loud helps with vocabulary and comprehension through repetition and hearing, and through the context of the multiple-choice answers.
