Instructional content platform that adapts news articles to five reading levels for K-12 classrooms.
Newsela is a New York-based edtech company that transforms current events and nonfiction content into instructional materials for K-12 students. Its platform provides news articles, informational texts, and primary sources written at five distinct Lexile reading levels, enabling teachers to differentiate instruction across diverse classrooms without preparing separate materials. Newsela's content library covers science, social studies, history, and current events, and includes built-in quizzes, annotations, and writing prompts aligned to Common Core and state standards. The platform is used by over 30 million students and more than 3.5 million educators across the United States. Founded in 2012, Newsela raised over $150M and has expanded from its news-reading core to a full instructional content platform covering ELA, social studies, science, and social-emotional learning. It competes with CommonLit, ReadWorks, and Actively Learn.
