"Using Newsela in my ELA classroom has allowed me to expand my own literary horizons and provide curated articles to my students on topics related to the fictional stories and novels that we are studying in class. Being a NCE has given me the confidence to develop text sets and create assignments that I can easily differentiate for my students."
