A newsworthy classroom tool
I love using Newsela in my class. It not only gives me another avenue for formative assessment in ELA, but integrates reading informational texts with themes from my science social studies curriculum. It greatly enhances the learning environment by bringing different subjects together in an engaging way. The mobile app is phenomenal for posting and grading assignments on the go.

An amazing source of reading for students
Iโm quite convinced with having this app on my mobile! The most distinctive feature that distinguishes this app from the other apps related to the same field is that readers can adjust the articles with their language levels and understand the contents better, also, improve their reading skill with a higher level! Taking quizzes is also another helpful feature that allow you to assess your comprehensive skill. Keep going guys with progressing this app through this technological age. I appreciate your wonderful work.

Excellent resource for teachers!!
Newsela is a terrific resource for teachers who need to create a fair playing field for all learners. Using the variety of incredibly fascinating and contemporary leveled readers, teachers can differentiate instruction to meet the reading needs of all students. The text features lead students to believe they are all reading the same material...thanks for being so sensitive to the students' needs!!!!

Great App, Small Problems
I love this app. Itโs a great app for kids to use to read the news. You can take quizzes and answer written questions. I only have one problem, every once in a while I will open the app and it says โOops, We hit a snag! Please sign in again!โ then the app freezes. I exit the app and go back in. I click sign in and then click Google. I sign in with my account and it starts to load. Then it glitches out and goes back to the sign in and sign up page. I have to re download the app and sign in. Otherwise, itโs a great app! ๐

Great way to improve English!
A great way to improve your knowledge of English. I like to take quizzes, especially complex. These tasks help to develop more thinking processes. I'm learning to think, to solve problems in different ways. The only thing that I do not like is the frequent hang of the "binder" page on the site.
Great concept but crashes too often
The app is built on a great concept, and has many great articles. However, their development team operates poorly which ruins the overall customer experience. There are so many bugs both the app and the website that makes the service crashes often, sometime even not able to login! The user experience is poorly designed too. I still don't know how to correctly register my kids to the service. I hope the team can set a higher standard on the quality of the app and the customer experience.

Awesome!
I was introduced to Newsela in sixth grade and wasn't a fan of it at first. Now, I LOVE NEWSELA!!!! I can learn about current events at my own reading level, take quizzes join clubs, join classes and do homework from my phone! I recommend this app to anyone from ages 7 thro 107(or older) who likes reading about current events.

I read it every day and I love it! โฎ๏ธโค๏ธ
Our classroom teacher told us to install newsela on our iPads. And now not only do I use it for doing read to self in the class but I also do it as my reader every single night. I'm happy about everything except just one little thing.....but even that doesn't make a big difference. When I click on an article, usually it has pictures. Right? Well it does have pictures but it takes a while to load. You can fix it if you want to, but no biggie. ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Thanks for the app!

Doesn't work
I tap the app to open it, the word newsela comes up, then it shuts down. What a shame as I would have recommended it to thousands of students
