Lexile Based Readings at ReadWorks

The ReadWorks website allows you to search reading passages by Lexile, similar to NewsELA, but it also includes more in-depth comprehension questions, paired with a teacher guide. The comprehension questions combine multiple choice and short-answer. The website does require registration, but it is completely free. You can filter readings by topic, Lexile, grade level, all of the above, etc. Once you find a reading you like, you can save it to your ReadWorks account for easy access.
