Better then any reading app!!!

This is a GREAT app. We learn from things that I, a kid doesn’t know. Furthermore, we might learn from the corona and every else to be exact! There is lots and plz write more of these amazing articles. And stay safe!!! Also, this is awesome because there is so many cool articles and some were so funny that my tears came out like crazy! Whoever made this app was amazing. The updates are more better. We get more articles and everything the teacher gave us were so much better. By the way, there is no fiction and that is great. I was feeling like I was going to burst out with joy when I discovered that no fiction was hear and I used this app almost all the time! Plz add in more updates and whoever made this app, this app was totally awesome and interesting and amazing and beautiful and funny!

Good for the teacher, not so much for the student

For all the years I have been using this App, something stays the same whether I was in Middle School or High School; the app works for the teacher. Albeit, it is lovely to read an academic perspective about the world in general -the writing portion is the easiest (ironically)- I am troubled with the quizzes. Recently, many teachers are using this app to simplify their grading, and somehow when you get 3/4 you still get a C as a grade, which does not make sense considering you only got one question wrong.

I hear all the time fellow classmates complaining about Newsela because of this system, it indirectly ruins a student’a grade. In my opinion, there should be either more questions or rounded it up to level the ground for students, since in a normal exam even getting an amount of questions wrong can get you a B, yet somehow Newsela works by passing or failing. No room for diversity in grades. Adding more questions would be a good update to move past from this fail-pass system. Otherwise, the app works greatly and will have to, most likely, continue using it because of my teachers.

So great for reading articles

I am a student and I absolutely love this app. The articles are very good, and I love how there are quizzes and articles in Spanish. I need to write four science articles a week, and I can just go the to science section and start reading. My teacher can assign me articles to read, so when we have a project I know what to read. There are different reading levels, so if you are not advanced you can go lower, but if you are an advanced reader you can read at a higher level! This is such a great source for info, and if you are a teacher definitely use this app for your students. They will definitely enjoy it!
